I was wondering if anyone else has this issue, I posted a while back but I got no answer. I was building a volleyball like game. The problem is, is that AppGameKit doesn't "register" all the collisions. I set the physics on for the ball and the player. Now everytime the ball hits the player it does bounce, but it doesn't always register. for example I use the code " if getspritecollision(ball,player1)" and then I have a sound play or some text print. The problem is, only sometimes the sound plays or the text prints, so only sometimes does the getspritecollision=true, even though AppGameKit is having the ball react by bouncing off of him, but I can't get AppGameKit to do everything after the if statement, because it only registers the collision sometimes and it seems mostly random. Can anyone please offer advice on this? Thanks!

Hey,

because of your question, I was looking at http://www.appgamekit.com/documentation/Reference/Sprite/GetSpriteCollision.htm and there it says "This command is primarily for sprites that are not using physics" and at the end "This function only operates on the sprite's base shape. Any additional shapes added to physics sprites will not be used in this function, use GetPhysicsCollision instead."

So I believe since you are using physics, probably you have to use the GetPhysicsCollision instead.

I'm actually doing something similar and I'm not using collision. Can you share you've done setting up the physics ? Maybe we leverage our knowledge (or lack of if ) about this matter.


Regards!

Hey MobileCreator I wasn't even aware of that function, thanks alot. Right now what works perfectly is simply subtracting the x and y values to see how close the player is to the ball, and if its close, I simply change the velocity of the ball with the appropriate direction. What are you working on?

Thanks MobileCreator that function worked perfectly!
