How do I Make something stop at a solid?

One of the players in my game shoots a laser beam, but when it hits a block it goes right through it.

How could I make it invisible under the block?

I've already thought of moving to bottom of layer, but then it could still show depending on how I made the level.

Thanks

Hi Lucky Star,

Have you tired adding an event for the laser beam hitting the block? (Actually it does sound like you have). You could then either set the laser beams opacity to zero, set it as invisible, or just destroy it!

Hope that helps

TMAJA I mean I want it to, well, its a bit hard to explain, lets say you stuck a laser beam at a wall, it wouldnt dissapear, it wouldnt shoot through the wall, it would just kind of deflect, heres an image example : http://sclick.net/cool%20gadgets/cooles ... er-gun.jpg

It just cuts the part that would be going through the wall off.

Raycasting would work perfect for this.

Here's a helpful capx by sqiddster, which should get you going in the right direction. https://www.scirra.com/tutorials/902/li ... raycasting

you can make the laser beam length not be greater then distance from original point of creation towards x y of the enemy, so if it hits the enemy its going to stop to its center position as length, if enemy will come towards you or go away the laser will grow bigger or shrink!

wep x,y is the original point of the laser from the weapon i guess if u have any!

set width distance(wep.x,wep.y,enemy.x,enemy.y) see if that helps

if u have enemys and solids in one familly you can switch enemy.x,y to familly name .x ,y

ryanrybot Squiddster's tutorial for some reason didn't work..

And everyone, note that this game is going to be a PUZZLE game with no enemies ( — ), and it will look like a platformer, for instance there will be a ground and a wall to shoot.
