Ok so i have a gun that shoots a bullet at the object. When the bullet collides with the object X is happening. The problem is that if i have more speed then about 500 on the bullet it seems like most bullet dont hit the object? I have tried to have speed 500 and then the condition happens every time. But if i increase it to about 2000 to have it fly as fast as a bullet it almost never happens.. what should i do? I cant have the bullet fly at a snails speed..
Your bullet is probably going past your target so it actually never overlaps the target at any frame. This means it will never detect a collision. You need to not think so literally. There are many methods you could try if you want to not really see a bullet (like in real life). One would be to create and move a single bullet in a fastloop so you can have it move in shorter increments per loop and be able to check if it overlaps anything.
Hmm.. is there any explenation or tutorial on how to do this?Originally Posted by mobichan
I would suggest reading DavidN's tutorial on making a Platform Engine. It contains basics on how to move an object using a fastloop. It is also in the tutorials section on the right side of this forum page.Once you understand what he does to move an object, you can expand on that concept and make what you are asking about. You will also be able to sever some ties to the built in movement types.

could you post your file up on the boards? maybe someone can help you and explain how the coding works in the process :cool:
I dont think thats necessary? I have a gun, it shoots a bullet at the mousepointer when i click the button. The thing i want is to have the bullet actually hit the object that comes in its way
unless you already have tried this, check the order of the bullet. If you dont have it to the front, bring it to the front and see if that works.
@Outcast: MMF makes things easy, but it also allows you alot of flexibility in how you approach things. Since we can't read your mind, you need to give a clear description of your events/process or you need to provide a sample file for us to look at. And it is pretty pointless for me to explain fastloop movement when there is a tutorial that teaches the basics of using it (and is a lot more eloquent at it than I am).
But i tought it seemed like it was a common thing that fast objects could pass through other object witout regestering a hit. I just wanted to know the way around that problem.@Outcast: MMF makes things easy, but it also allows you alot of flexibility in how you approach things.

My even process is just when mouse is pressed a bullet shoots from rifle toward mousepointer. When bullet hits enemie enemie gets destroyed. But when i speed up the bullet so it flyes faster it wont hit, or hit very rarely.
