Building Collision Detection?

[toonskull]

I have tried a few things on my own such as;

 

 

if0179:   actor $PLAYER_ACTOR colliding_with_object -1then//do somethingend//also tried 083D: get_actor $PLAYER_ACTOR velocity_in_direction_XYZ [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] == [email protected] == [email protected] == 0.0Actor.Animation($PLAYER_ACTOR) == "RUN_PLAYER"then//do somethingend

 

 

I have googled and searched here without much luck...so how can I know when CJ runs into a wall or hits building while walking around town?

Attach a object around the player, make it invisible, check if the object has collided, done.

Thanks, I will give that a try.

 

Update: I must not be doing this correctly;

Nothing happens. Well any suggestions?

The ball is probably inside CJ's brain.

 

And uhh.. Don't you need to load the model first? and wtf why is the model -113?!

 

Also you don't need to use 0382. And for debugging, comment out 0750.

Maybe Actor.Animation($PLAYER_ACTOR) == "RUN_PLAYER" is the problem.

No if you load the script and comment out the invisibility (0750) you would see the ball clearly in front of CJ. You really don't understand the -113? You need to bone up on the MAIN.SCM, the top lines define all the objects from -1 to -388 and -113 is the magic 8 ball.

 

The 8 ball clearly passed through the wall of the buildings and had no trigger on the game.

 

@BNB: that line you mentioned means the player is still in motion of jogging at the wall. I know that works, thanks.

 

I think it is pretty obvious to most people that when I run or jog at a brick wall I should fall down like real people do.

I've partially (for some weird reasons) answered you here.

Thanks Wesser, I have just about given up on the building collision detection. I am exploring other avenues such as the idea prior that the player is stalled out but the animation is running or sprinting. I will keep this option in mind and post anything I can come up with but for now school is back in session today and it will have to wait.

Just an update to interested parties; I had some minor success at making a position range check. He hits the wall but there is too much delay and sometimes it triggers when no wall is present. In a nutshell, I am trying to make it where CJ hits a wall and falls down. I got the idea when I saw a student at the career center bounce off a wall not looking where he was going. I think hitting peds is going to be easier. But I think they should fall down as well.

i think you should try working with these

i hope this helped a bit

Thanks! That did the trick. See the finished script here.
