Treating objects in Qualifiers individually

[Gunnar]

Hi!

I am trying to make a game where you can hide behind bushes, and when you are behind a bush it should be semi-transparent.

For this I made a Qualifier ('4') for all the bushes (which are actives). I then "Spread 0 to 'alt val A' of '4'" at "start of frame".

To check through all the bushes and see which ones should be semi-transparent I made a loop.

-Always
*Start loop "Bushes" NObjects("4") times

On loop"Bushes"
+'alt val A' of '4' = loopindex"Bushes"
+'Player' is overlapping '4'
*Set semitransparency ratio of '4' to 32

(And a similar one that checks for player not overlapping '4' and setting semi trans. to 0.)

This works fine when I have one bush: It gets semi-transparent when I hide behind it and reappears when I leave it (And other bushes on screen stays fully visible).

However, when I have two bushes standing next to each other, there is a problem.

When I hide behind the first, it gets semi-trans. as it should, but when I go directly from behind one bush and overlaps the other before havnig entirely left the first one, both get semi-trans, and stay so even after I have left the first one entirely! (though both go back to normal when I have left both).

I want just the bush that I am hiding behind at the moment to be semi-trans.

How do I fix this? And what have I done wrong?

Sorry for the long question but I'd really appreciate an answer!

Change the condition:
+'Player' is overlapping '4'
TO
+'4' is overlapping 'Player'
since it's the 4 you are interested in not the player

Thanks a lot! That really helped me out!
