Help with actor collision?

turkeyman

Hi, guys.

I'm making my first game on GameSalad, and I want to change the attribute of actor A after it collides with actor B. I want to make it so that actor A can touch actor B for as long as it wants, and the attribute doesn't change until they stop touching. How do I do this?

You can create a game integer attribute. Call it "CollisionTrue" or something like that. Keep its initial value at 0.

In Actor A, create a rule:
When actor overlaps or collides with Actor B,
-- Change Attribute: Game.CollisionTrue to 1
- Otherwise:
- - Change Attribute Game.CollisionTrue to 0

The Game.CollisionTrue attribute will be set to 1 when the collision is true. You can then use that condition to fire off whatever you need to happen in your game.

This is also my first question. I hope I posted it in the right place...
