While making some simple games, I've run into one problem that I can not figure out. How do you make something only collide with specific objects. Ex: The box can only collide with "wall05" (which would be the name of an entity).

I'm hoping this is possible.

You could use str_for_entname(STRING*, ENTITY*); in the event-function to check every specific collision combination.

An other possibility could be to set FLAG2 to models that should be ignored (in WED or via script) and use IGNORE_FLAG2 in your c_move functions.

The third chance I can show you is to use the push-value. With this feature you can make moving Entities collide with Entities that have a higher push-value only. To activate this you have to set IGNORE_PUSH in your c_move function.

... or set a Skill of all models to a different number. Example:
All wall05: skill60 = 1
All Enemies : skill60 = 2
All Items: skill60 = 3
and so on...

Now you can check in your event what you hits with a switch() queries.

Thanks. :]

Another question, is it possible to check if an object is colliding with something under it, like the floor. Because I might want a variable to change only when the player is on top of the floor, not falling and touching the side.

Never mind, figured it out. Used c_trace. But, is it possible to have 2 c_traces for 1 object? Because right now I'm making the jumping controls, and everything works great, but I want the player to start immediately falling when he bonks his head under something (and besides, I might want to use c_trace for other things too, like enemy bullets and such).

Thanks in advance.

you can use as many c_traces as you like, there's no limit, though you should bear in mind this is a slow function so ideally use it sparingly, (16+ per frame is no hassle, but don't have 20 entities doing 16 traces each).

(remember that 'you' will change)

Is there a way to name c_traces though? Since I then use trace_hit, and I need a way to define which one I'm talking about.

Save the trace_hit in a var or array after every c_trace.
