onParticleCollision?

#1
setEffectCollisionStatus(status)
status: True if the effect as a whole is processing collisions, false if the individual particles are processing collisions.


So, you need to use %this.setEffectCollisionStatus(false) with the callback onParticleCollision(%this)

#2 Changing this setting makes no difference.

#3 How are you trying to pickup the collision callback?

#4 I tried it both ways, in the particle class and then in the enemy class. Both ways fail to detect it. Do some people have this working?

function empStun::onParticleCollision( %srcObj, %dstObj, %srcRef, %dstRef, %time, %normal, %contactCount, %contacts )
{
   echo("empStun::onParticleCollision");//never gets here
}

#5 Is empStun the class or name of the emitter?

Try the following, it should catch ALL particle collisions in your game:

function t2dSceneObject::onCollision( %srcObj, %dstObj, %srcRef, %dstRef, %time, %normal, %contactCount, %contacts )
{
   echo("onParticleCollision called for:" SPC %srcObj SPC "with class:" SPC %srcObj.class);
}

Once you get it trapped, you can debug the %srcObj and figure out how to catch it properly.

I've only tried this once before but it was with tileMap collisions for someone else's game so I don't have the code but I think that the problem was that the particle has a different namespace than the emitter and wasn't being caught by my callback function.

Note, this is untested and my best guess. I hope it helps.

#6 I'll give this a try, thanks!

#7 Kevin,

Note I edited my post to do just onCollision (as opposed to onParticleCollision). Then you filter...
