Getting the players velocity before the brick stops him?

[Conservative]

I need to get the players velocity right before his velocity is set back to 0 0 0 after hitting a brick

Would this do?

Code: [Select]

function Armor::onImpact(%this, %obj, %brick, %vel, %splatSpeed)
{
//Your stuff here

return parent::onImpact(%this, %obj, %brick, %vel, %splatSpeed);
}

}


OnImpact is only activated once the player is at a fall damage speed

[Port]

OnImpact is only activated once the player is at a fall damage speed

Use ::onCollision then.

[jes00]

Use ::onCollision then.

But that's not called when they hit a brick unless it has an event correct?

[Port]

Correct. There is no other way.

[Treynolds416]

The correct collision callback for players has never been added to the game

Use the armor::onCollision, not fxdtsbrick::oncollision

[Port]

Use the armor::onCollision, not fxdtsbrick::oncollision

armor::onCollision is not invoked if the brick you're hitting doesn't have a specific member field set.

[jes00]

armor::onCollision is not invoked if the brick you're hitting doesn't have a specific member field set.

Which one?

[Greek2me]

armor::onCollision is not invoked if the brick you're hitting doesn't have a specific member field set.

So just set the member field on brick creation.

[Port]

So just set the member field on brick creation.

That would defeat the purpose of it.

[jes00]

So just set the member field on brick creation.

What's the member field?

%brick.enableTouch = 1;

also, why isn't this working?

package a
{
   function Armor::OnCollision(%this, %obj, %brick, %vel, %splatSpeed)
   {
      talk(%this SPC %obj SPC %brick SPC %vel SPC %splatSpeed);

      return; parent::OnCollision(%this, %obj, %brick, %vel, %splatSpeed);
   }
};

package a
{
   function Armor::OnCollision(%this, %obj, %brick, %vel, %splatSpeed)
   {
      talk(%this SPC %obj SPC %brick SPC %vel SPC %splatSpeed);

      return; parent::OnCollision(%this, %obj, %brick, %vel, %splatSpeed);
   }
};

Because it needs to be return parent::OnCollision(%this, %obj, %brick, %vel, %splatSpeed); not return; parent::OnCollision(%this, %obj, %brick, %vel, %splatSpeed);

Don't forget activatePackage(a);
