  • You shouldn't use families for spawning like that. what you can do is:

    local number UID = 0

    decide to spawn catapult / melee

    create catapult / soldier

    set UID to catapult / melee.UID

    then pick friendly with variable UID

    set isFriendly to differentiate between Friendly Unit and Enemy unit

    treat both objects the same...

    ____________

    P.S.:

    when you create a catapult, it will automatically be a member of BOTH families (all families that you assigned it to), so you can pick either friendly or enemy with UID

    Also: the Familiies dont help to differentiate between enemy/friend if both objects are in both families.

  • Hi again,

    i am afraid that didnt work (they pass through each other), what am i doing something wrong?

    Thanks

    Nico

    That doesnt work because you check the isFriendly Boolean for the same object, its like checking 1<>1 and expecting it to be true

    what you can do: (your setup is i think: catapult and melee object, both in 2 families right?)

    (when you check if in range you do this with a "for each friendly" loop right?)

    (here in code so the indent is there)

    for each friend (friend = family):
    condition: 
         INVERTED: pick enemy with UID friend.UID            //dont pick enemy with the same UID as the friendly you are just looping through
         pick by evaluate: enemy.isFriendly <> friend.isFriendly              //pick enemies that are really enemies (isFriendly Bool is different)
         pick nearest enemy (enemy = other family)
              here check range from friendly to enemy family (bbox or what you want)
[/code:2vsxg5ty]

note that you can do this here because you use 2 objects (family which you loop through, and enemy)

    Made the game together with —

  • Touch > On touched > ButtonYes > AnswerPanelYes > Set Effect Parameter....

    with one action you can change 1 parameter of an effect

  • Keyboard:

    Keyboard currently has:

    Keyboard.StringFromKeyCode

    Keyboard.LastKeyCode

    What would be nice is:

    Keyboard.KeyCodeFromString

    Bullet Behaviour:

    you currently cannot set "Set Angle" with events (that the bullet sets the angle of an object automatically to angle of motion)

  • in Events:

    Object Actions - set effect parameter:

    Name = "ReplaceColor"

    Parameter = the parameter which you want to change (0 would be source color)

    value = value

  • Hello!

    Is it possible to get the Collision Coordinates with the Physics Behaviour?

  • Hello!

    Is there a Plugin where i can get or set an Instance Variable by name?

    Example:

    Player.instanceVariable("my_var")

    and then also an event where you can set by name

  • Black Screen happens to me when there is an error somewhere in my events.

    e.g.:

    RegexMatchAt("somestring","[","") because "[" is not a valid Regex. There are some other reasons where a friend of mine had a blackscreen too but i don't remember what it was. (maybe it was infinitely spawning sprites in one frame or something)

  • my object is outside of the sprite.

    i get the vector from the object to the nearest image point

    is it possible to get the Normal vector to the hitbox?

    edit:

    and the hit point too?
