Destroy object on collision - Box2d

[ac3raven]

I opened the testbed.mfa and edited the Bullets frame to destroy the blue bullet when it hit a particular shape. It worked. But it didn't work when I set it to collide with a group.

So in my own file, I set to be destroyed when it collides with a specific green shape (the big one at the top). This didn't work.

Okay. I think I fixed it. My sprite was too small, and so I think the Box2d body was colliding with the green walls and stopping the actual apple sprite from colliding. I made my apple bigger and it is instantly destroyed every time now. So I guess it's good practice to make your bodies slightly smaller than the sprites they belong to.

Well, that's good that you found out what the issue was. BTW, nice game so far. Can I ask what the game is about,.I really don't get what you need to do in it to win or whatever?

Well, the game is going to be a puzzle-platformer. Each level is based on one of the virtues in this essay:

The level I linked to in the thread is "Precision". There's no win-state yet because the level is not done. We plan to get the game done and released by December.

Sounds good, keep us posted.
