When a door is opening or closing (the door is a map entity), how can I detect that the door hits the player (FPG)? The player is not moving, the map entity (door) is moving.
What flags need to be set or what method should I use to detect this collision?
Thanks for your help

is the door rotating via c_rotate?

If so, use event_entity.

I tried it with my.pan and with c_rotate. I will check the event_entity
Thanks for the tip

I am using c_rotate for the door, and I set the following in the action for the door (map entity):
my.emask = (ENABLE_BLOCK | ENABLE_ENTITY | ENABLE_TRIGGER);
I also created an event and added this in the door action:
my.event=door_event;
but when the door hits the player (who is NOT moving) the event is not triggered.

can try vec_dist as well, and see in a loop if the player is close enough.
if so, open door...

regards,

The issue is not that I can't open the door, the problem I try to solve is that when the door opens it passes right through the player. I cannot detect the collision. I move the door with c_rotate. When the player moves then I do get a collision but when the player stands still I don't.

show us the c_rotate line your using for the door

This is yhr c_rotate line

c_rotate (me, vector(direction*10*time_step,0,0), 0 );

Thanks for helping

OK, thats cool. I just wanted to check the collision_flags(mode).

Now lets see the "door_event" function you created please.

There really is nothing in the event yet except for the beep() that would indicte that the program gets there. But it doesn't so the event is never executed....

Thanks for your help

function door_event() // event is triggered when
{
beep();
energy-=10;
switch (event_type)
{
case EVENT_BLOCK:
// ent_playsound(my,whamm,50);
// vec_to_angle(my.pan,bounce); // change direction
return;
case EVENT_ENTITY:
// energy-= 10;
// ent_playsound(my,boingg,50); // play a different sound
// vec_to_angle(my.pan,my_location); // change direction
return;
case EVENT_TRIGGER:
return;
}
}
