Movement Blocker

[mykal]

Hi all!

I'm having a little trouble trying to figure something out. Basically I want to set the player-character so that if a collision occurs then a particular key is disabled. I want to do it using variables but I can't seem to find the ability to disable an individual key, only total control.

To be specific, if player presses right, player-character continually moves right until a collision occurs. Right key then needs to be disabled to prevent player-character from moving through the object that caused the collision.

I have the variables ready to go I just can't find 'disable/ignore key'

Anyone know?

Thanks,

Michael.

When you set the keys up for movement do a exception if Alterable Value = 1

On the collision set Alterable Value = 1

The best way here would be "

Upon pressing right key
+Player is not overlapping an obstacle

Set player x to x("Player")+1."

I think. You might need to use fastloops to avoid getting "stuck" in an obstacle., in that case you need
"Right key is pressed
+ Player is overlapping object

Set player x to X("Player")-1" inside a fastloop, so that the adjusting movement is done inside a fastloop, before the new frame is drawn.

Hi Marv, Thanks for the reply, how do I make an exception. You suggestion seems perfect!

"If Alterable Value = 0
Player presses right
set player x to X("player")+1

Perfect Thanks!

You might want to give my fastloop movement example a look over. It shows pixel perfect movement/collision detection using fastloops. It's in my signature.
