Question about groups

[Leander]

I have different monsters. They are all members of the group "baddies".

group baddies collides with group baddies -> bounce.

That works. The colliding monsters bounce.

If player 1 collides with baddies he loses one life and ALL monsters should stop moving. They are all in the same group but only the monster that has collided with the player stops. How can I select all of them?

[pirodaggar]

make it a second event. The reason it does this is because conditions create specialized choosing, so only objects involved in it (in this case the collision) react.

Do something like this.

Play 1 collides with baddies, set internal flag 1 on for player

If player internal flag 1 is on, set it off and stop group baddies.

That should work

[Leander]

Yeah, it works.
What is the difference between values and flags?

What is the difference between values and flags?

A value stores a number. A flag store an on/off state (and you can easily toggle between the two).
