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).
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.
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).
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).
