tnx TripleX

Why do i get an error when i want to delete entity? I wanted to remove entity when it touched the ground or another entity...

function hit()
{
if (event_type==event_block || event_type==event_entity)
{
ent_remove(my);

}
}

i did everithing Germanunkol wrote (i just replaced the name event_rock with hit)... but everytime rock hits the ground or another entity msgbox pops up saying "invalid arguments in hit: ent_remove(my)"

And another thing. i got another entity created in the room by pressing c key now when a rock hits the entity i want it to disapere. This is what i did...
I attached an action to it and with my.event=disapear;
called on disapear function. in that function i had
if (event_type==event_entity)
{
ent_remove(my);
}

i think i know why that doesnt work... I read in manual that it senses if entity hits another entity while moving... and my entity isnt moving when it is hit. is that right?

what should i use so it would detect entity hitting it?

Don't now if it's going to solve your problem but you better add a wait(1); instruction after all of your ent_remove(ent) commands to avoid engine errors/messages

No it didnt solve it tnx any way

I still havent solved my problem, any one??

Add wait(1) before ent_remove should work :

Code:

---

function removeRock()
{
   if (event_type==event_entity)
   {
      wait(1);
      ent_remove(my);
   }
}

---

Also, make sure the rock is moved using c_move function
and enable_entity is turned on :

Code:

---

action moveRock
{
   my.enable_entity = on;
   my.event = removeRock;
   while(1)
   {
       c_move(.....);
       wait(1);
   }
}

---

If it still doesn't work, post your "rock" action codes here,
otherwise we never know what's your problem.

Of course ent_remove is going to cause an error if while(1) is set!
change while(1) to while(my)!

Vlau it worked i had wait(1) after ent_remove. thats why it didnt know.

I Got a new question now.
I created a new entity named snowman... He has no action yet becouse i dont know how to do this:
i want that snowman disaperes when he gets hit (or loses health or something else, it doesnt matter). i dont want whole code i just want to know what function should i use for detecting if he was hit by a rock... i cant use event_entity becouse he isnt moving. he is a static target.

Please help and tnx for your help so far.

You always need an action to control, testing
entity movement, collision. To detect an entity
hit by another objects without event_entity,
event_impact or whatever, you may try trace_hit :

Code:

---

action snowMan
{
   while(my != NULL)
   {
       c_move(...);  // it's a must
       if (trace_hit)
       {
           wait(1);
           ent_remove(my);
       }
       wait(1);
    }
}

---

By the way, you have to add some "ignore_" options in c_move
if the snowman is on the ground for example.

Hope this help!

Ok works tnx.
