Collision problem

[Kcee]

What code should I use to change a variable to 0(false) if two actors are not in collision?

[Kcee]

Please I really need a reply, I tried using CollisionFree but I don't know much about it.

KCEE PLS. CAN YOU NARRATE YOUR PROBLEM IN A SIMPLER XPRESION

[Kcee]

Something like: If player actor is not colliding with car actor, touching car=0; Are you familiar with GE?

[lcl]

Player -> Create Actor -> Script Editor:

Code: Select all

touching_car = 0;

Player -> Collision any side of Car -> Script Editor:

Code: Select all

touching_car = 1;

Player -> Collision Finish with Car -> Script Editor:

Code: Select all

touching_car = 0;

Quick questions: What kind of code should put in draw actor and create actor? And isn't 0 the default number assigned to user variables?

[lcl]

Draw Actor event occurs when the actor is drawn, i.e. every frame of the game. Gravity code is an example of what should be put to this event.

Create Actor event occurs when the actor is created. This means either when the game starts and the actor is created, or when using Create Actor action to create the actor. Notice that Create Actor event and Create Actor action are different things. The latter one creates actors, while the first is an actor's event that takes place upon the creation of the actor. An example of the usage of the Create Actor event could be setting the xvelocity of a bullet actor.

Yes, global variables and actor variables are automatically initialized to zero. But remember that it doesn't apply to local variables, i.e. variables created inside an event or a function through code.
