Collision problems

[Meness]

Hi, I'm participating in the Ludum Dare competition atm and I've decided to use Construct 2.

I've had no past experience with the program so excuse the noobishness.

My game has the player going around absorbing other 'orbs'. I've set this up to receive a point in a certain variable each time the player absorbs something. However, my problem is that after collision, I can recollide with the object again, thus giving the player more points that intended. It might be a bit difficult to understand so I have uploaded my project for you to inspect.

Thanks in advance!

So, you don't want this to happen?

You should add a switch/toggle to each orb, that turns it 'off' when the player hits one.
I'm not practiced in Construct, so I can't give you the specifics of the program to do this.

Maybe here's something: http://www.scirra.com/tutorials/158/ver ... tes/page-1 ?

Pretty much what Tomas said. fast fix is to add an instance variable to each of your 'orbs'. then in the collision event. check to see if the twitch is on ----> do actions and add an action to toggle the switch .

Based on your file it would look something like this.

-----------------------------------------
Player-- On collision with "aggression"
Aggression-- Variable = 0
-----------------------------------------> Player 8direction disabled
-----------------------------------------> aggression solid disabled
-----------------------------------------> aggression start fade
-----------------------------------------> sprite2 start fade
-----------------------------------------> Player 8direction enabled
-----------------------------------------> system add 1 to aggression
-----------------------------------------> aggression set Variable to 1


bonus of the switch is if you ever need to reset an orb for some reason you now have a built in way of doing it.
Good luck with Ludum dare! I'll be joining the chaos as well but won't get a chance to start anything more then pen and paper until later today.
