problem with overlapping and collision

jygo

Hey, I am having trouble with collision or overlap rule conditions. I set to resize the actor from 27X36 to 81X108 with constrain attributes and change attribute, but the condition for the collision seems to be invalid. I changed it to actor receives event>touch>press and it works perfectly. Also it works with out the resizing. How can I correct this if I can?

I don't think you can - resizing doesn't seem to update the size of the collision area at all.

I see. Thank you.

Hi @PixelMetal for info: if the actor's size was enlarged with the Change Size Behaviour then collision detection didn't used to work, but it does now....

And so does collision detection still work OK if the actor changes size with Change Attribute behaviours, and even Interpolate behaviours making it larger over time.

So @jygo, I suspect something else is going on here.... first to ask, what are you using the constrain Attributes for? And just to confirm, you're changing the actor's size immediately with Change Attribute behaviours, yes?

Found the issue, it looks like it still doesn't work with constrain attributes but if I change the initial values for the attributes and use change attribute it works. I need to learn how to make a load page which might solve the problem in the long term. Thanks @gyroscope.
