MoveCollideX on [multiple] types? (SOLVED)

(christopf) #1

Hi i’ve searched for an explanation of the moveCollide method but only find a few topics scratching on it since their authors seem to know howto. i “switched” my hero movement to moveTo and now i want to check collision for single enemy types but the movecollide seems to work only with specific entities. is there a way around like creating a entity representing an array of types?

(Bora Kasap) #2 
collidelist:Array = new Array(new String("archertype"), new String("swordsmantype"));

moveTo(x, y, collidelist);

miauz sorry. i didnt ask clearly enough. i want different events happen when colliding with different types. to now i thought the collision option in the moveTo tag is only for stopping? or can i define the general collision reaction of moveto and moveby with the movecollide method?

Override moveCollideX(e) and moveCollideY(e). You can check the type of each entity you collide with and return true if it should result in a collision.

Or:

collidelist:Array = ["archertype", "swordsmantype"];

Just to cut out some redundancy. :wink:
