I'm working on a little platformer project similar to Mario Bros. and I can't seem to get boxes to bounce correctly when I jump into them.

Heres what I'm using to check the collision above my character:

+ Code Snippet

TC=SC_raycast(0,GCNewX#,GCNewY#,GCNewZ#,GCOLDX#,GCNewY#+25,GCOLDZ#,Player)

And heres the code I'm using for the hopping:

+ Code Snippet

`The blocks I want to move are between 99 and 200
If TC > 99 and TC < 200 : Hop=1 : endif
   If hop=1
      move object up tc,mag
      mag=mag-1
   endif
   If mag<-5:Hop=0:Hopping=0:Mag=5:endif

Now I realize my problem lies within the fact that variable TC is constantly changing, making it impossible to use TC for the Object Id. So my question is how can I save the value of the object that I'm colliding with so that I can keep the block moving?

Thanks Everyone,
Radi

Exactly how you said, just save the variable, either in another variable or in an array if you many blocks can "hop" at once.

Try something like this:

+ Code Snippet

`The blocks I want to move are between 99 and 200
If TC > 99 and TC < 200
   Array Insert At Top Hop(0)
   Array Insert At Top Mag(0)
   Hop(1) = TC
   Mag(1) = 5
endif
   If Array Count(Hop(0))>0
      For i = 1 to Array Count(Hop(0))
         move object up Hop(i),Mag(i)
         Mag(i)=Mag(i)-1
         If mag(i)<-5
             Array Delete Element Mag(0),i
             Array Delete Element Hop(0),i
         endif
      Next i
   endif

Sorry its a bit messy i just typed it in browser
