hay everyone, I am making a game with a tiny ball, where you need to click on it to shoot it. On the device it is hard to click, so I increased the radius but that caused the ball to hit things too early. So, I am wondering if it is possible to set the radius of the ball to big, and then when the ball is clicked or shot, it becomes small?

create a circle that’s bigger then the ball but not visible and have it follow the balls x, y then set all touch events to this but leave all collision events on ball [import]uid: 7911 topic_id: 15807 reply_id: 58381[/import]
You are a genius! [import]uid: 86879 topic_id: 15807 reply_id: 58384[/import]
glad I could help [import]uid: 7911 topic_id: 15807 reply_id: 58385[/import]
One other thing, I can’t seem to create a global variable. For example the score the user received on level one display on level 2. Do you know how to do this? [import]uid: 86879 topic_id: 15807 reply_id: 58394[/import]
is each level in a different file or all in one file [import]uid: 7911 topic_id: 15807 reply_id: 58403[/import]
different lua file [import]uid: 86879 topic_id: 15807 reply_id: 58405[/import]
are you using director

yes sir [import]uid: 86879 topic_id: 15807 reply_id: 58408[/import]
if using director 1.4 you can pass params from one file to another
director:changeScene( params, file, fx )
params must be a table
heres an example but uses popup instead of changeScene

I am not catching on this one, can you elaborate a little bit. I couldn’t figure it out form the other forum area either=( [import]uid: 86879 topic_id: 15807 reply_id: 58420[/import]
say this the items you need to pass to each level
score = 100
director:changeScene( { sc = score }, “level2”, “fade” )
then in level 2
function new( params )
score = params.sc[1]
and repeat for each level [import]uid: 7911 topic_id: 15807 reply_id: 58426[/import]
This didn’t work for me =( I changed everything for my needs, but it didn’t change the scene [import]uid: 86879 topic_id: 15807 reply_id: 58435[/import]
could you post some code [import]uid: 7911 topic_id: 15807 reply_id: 58439[/import]
1.lua
score1 = display.newText(“0”, 0, 0, “ChalkDust”, 13)
score1:setTextColor(255, 255, 255)
score1.x = 60
score1.y = 40
localGroup:insert(score1)
when the ball is hit
score1.text = score1.text + (“1”)
director:changeScene( { sc1 = score1 }, “2”, “fade” )
2.lua
function new( params )
scorebs1 = params.sc1[1]
scorebs1.x = 400
scorebs1.y = 40
end

not sure if it will pass an object never tried what it will pass is the value of score and you create a new score text object or maybe try leaving the [1] off im not at home on my computer to make sure its right [import]uid: 7911 topic_id: 15807 reply_id: 58444[/import]
Ok, when you know, could you please please email kurtbringsjord@swelloapplications.com with the info.
–Thanks SOOO much for all of your help, you have been huge! [import]uid: 86879 topic_id: 15807 reply_id: 58445[/import]
try
sc1 = { score1 }
director:changeScene( sc1, “2”, “fade” )
then in 2.lua
scorebs1 = sc1[1]
think this will work still not sure about pass the text image though

It didn’t work =( [import]uid: 86879 topic_id: 15807 reply_id: 58449[/import]
I have a small app that I’m building to demo a particle system I’ve been building that passes a variable from one file to the next with changeScene I’ll send to you to look at when I get home [import]uid: 7911 topic_id: 15807 reply_id: 58456[/import]
