Could someone kindly tell me why this simple code doesn't detect the collision against the walls of the level (blocks created in WED) ?

function test_event()

{
sys_exit("bye bye ...");
}

action test_action()
{
my.emask |= EVENT_IMPACT;
my.event = test_event;

while(1)
{
c_move(my_model,vector(10,0,0),nullvector,GLIDE);
wait(1);
}

}

Everything else works.

Because colliding with blocks triggers the EVENT_BLOCK event.
Thus you need to add it to your emask

my.emask |= EVENT_BLOCK;

Doesn't work ??

function test_event()

{
if(event_type == EVENT_BLOCK) sys_exit("bye bye ...");
}

action test_action()
{
my.emask |= EVENT_BLOCK;
my.event = test_event;

while(1)
{
c_move(my_model,vector(10,0,0),nullvector,GLIDE);
wait(1);
}

}


Check manuel,all truth in there

Thanks, however, the collision doesn't run the sys_exit event

ps you also need wait(1) before the while(1); loop or it crashes.

try this:

function test_event()

{
swit(event_type == EVENT_BLOCK) sys_exit("bye bye ...");
}
switch (event_type)
{
case EVENT_BLOCK:
sys_exit("bye bye ...");
return; //try with return and without(just remove this line
}

Lol, I wouldn't go so far as to say all truth lies within the lovely 3DGS manual, but yes, it usually helps.

The code still doesn't work.

In the "manual" if you index search for 'emask' and see what you get.

The line in the test_action should be
my.emask |= ENABLE_BLOCK;

And the event function should work fine with
function test_event() { if(event_type == EVENT_BLOCK) sys_exit("bye bye ..."); }

Hi Evil,

Thanks, I didn't spot the obvious !
