I'm trying to make a bouncing game over the network. So what I'm trying to do is, when you bounce against an other player, he bounces off in the opposite direction. But it's not working properly... This is what I'm trying to do:

In the character action


The impact function:


But something's going wrong... Mostly, nothing happens, but then, all of a sudden, the other character is in the corner of the level...

Any idea's anyone? Or to how I can do it in a different way perhaps?

There is a predefined vector bounce (=> vec_to_angle(my.pan, bounce)), maybe that's what you are looking for.

I tried that already, but that one rotates my character and I don't want that.

Rotate a temporary vector instead and add this one to your movement code.

How, exactly? Rotate the temporary vector with bounce or something?

VECTOR* my_move = nullvector;
...
c_move(my, nullvector, my_move, GLIDE)
if(trace_hit)
{
vec_to_angle(my_move, bounce)
}


i think like this ^^
I used that by myself for my Arkanoid testings ^^

It's not really working...I tried different things:

VECTOR* my_move = nullvector;

c_move(my, vector(my.skill33 * time_step, 0, my.skill33 * time_step * sign(my.skill33)), vector(my_move.x * time_step, my_move.y * time_step, -5 * time_step), GLIDE); // Tried this with and without the time_step

if(event_type == EVENT_IMPACT)
{
vec_set(my_move.x, my.pan); //Added this one later
vec_to_angle(my_move, bounce); //First only with this one
vec_set(my_move.x, nullvector); //Added this when characters kept moving
}

Now then, when the two characters hit each other, one of them just shoots away until it hits the wall and then they both keep moving slowly to the right... Even though my_move has been set to zero. Also, it doesn't bounce off in the direction the one that hits him is facing...
