Double alert events and sounds when collision occurs

Games
#1

I just can’t seem to find the right combination of code to do what I want.
Simple really, when a collision occurs on my “ball” I want to stop everything, move the ball into a “winning position” I declare on top of code (x,y) and then show an alert event and play a sound.

But what happens is when the ball hits the winning spot it will sometimes show multiple alerts and play the winning chime more than once.
I have a simple listener event for a collision on the winning spot.

I’ve tried several different methods but below is my code, maybe someone can help me?
[lua]–Ending a level
local function endlevel( event )

if event.other.name == “myball” then --If it’s the ball then

ball:setLinearVelocity(0, 0)
ball.angularVelocity = 0

win:removeEventListener(“collision”, endlevel)
ball:removeEventListener(“collision”, ballsoundevent)
ball.linearDamping = windampening --Give it some dampening
ball:applyForce( ballforce, ballforce, 10, 15 ) --Spin it a little
transition.to( ball, { time=100, x=winnerxspot+5, y=winneryspot+6 } ) --Move it to the exact center of winning spot

local alert = native.showAlert( “You won”, “Good job.”, { “Next Level”, “Play again” }, onlevelComplete ) --Alert box
audio.play(winsound) --Play sound

end
end

jmp909, I’ve tried that. All that seems to do is detect that the phase has began (which the collision has indeed began).

It’s almost like the ball keeps hitting the target and keeps calling the function over and over sometimes - even though I’ve killed the listener.

would need to see more code related to the issue you describe [import]uid: 6645 topic_id: 7144 reply_id: 25305[/import]
