!onCollision

by Phillip "Renolc" Gibson · in Torque Game Builder · 03/30/2005 (7:05 pm) · 4 replies

Just a quick question that I haven't found yet in the Docs:

I know you can check for collisions via the onCollision function, but is there a way to check if there aren't any collisions?

My goal is to have an invisible square at the players spawn point. If something is blocking that spot, I want to set a flag to delay the spawn until it is clear. How would I go about doing this?

EDIT: changed some words to make more sense. =)

Do a scenegraph.pickArea() before placing the character. This will tell you if there are any objects in the area specified. You can specify layers and groups to be selective.

I actually tried that once, but I couldn't quite figure out the syntax. But thanks to you, I now know that I was forgeting the scenegraph part. >.<

Thanks! Now works great!

Since this isn't a very big question, I decided to hijak my own thread =O

How do you go about disabling the gui editor? I have everything else disabled that I wish to, but I can't seem to find where to unbind and/or delete the appropriate files. I did a full surch for 'F10' and came up with nothing in all the files.

It's in the common folder.
