some help

Im currently making an asteroids game.

I want to put an "hyperspace" function that teleports your ship to an area of the layout that doesnt have any asteroid "safe zone".

Any ideas on how can i do that?

Is there a function to detect if there is an object in a certain position?

Ty for the help

No need for bumping so much in a day... anyway, on the 2nd or 3rd page I found - scirra.com/forum/on-start-of-layout-loops-logic-collsions_topic61745_post379018.html

Should help you..

ummm

function"movePlayer"

Pick Nth "asteroid"    floor(random(0, asteroid.count))

-> set player.x = asteroid.x + whatever, player.y = asteroid.y + whatever

on start of layout[[or however when player starts in area]]

call function "move player"

if player is overlapping

call function "movePlayer

just a thought. procrastinator is right. Please give it a day. Different times zones, jobs, special events all contribute to different reasons for a response that isn't in a few minutes. Some times you will get lucky, other times it could take days. hmm, I should bump my scenegraph suggestion. it's been about 2 weeks :D

I did it. Ty for the help guys.

Just for the record, I did what jayderyu said. But I also used an invisible SafeZone to check if the player was visible in the screen. I also had to check if there was at least one asteroid with all the conditions because my code was throwing javascript errors.
