Hi there, Im trying to do this: when an object collides with another then after 5 seconds i display pop up window. I looked but cant figure out how to do this. Any help will be much appreciated . Thanks [import]uid: 11559 topic_id: 20235 reply_id: 320235[/import]
Try using timer.performWithDelay(5000, showMessage)
upon collision
With showMessage being your message function [import]uid: 84637 topic_id: 20235 reply_id: 79018[/import]
@Danny
thanks. My problem is i dont know how to write that code
for example like this
when obj1 collides with obj2 then
do something
end Thanks [import]uid: 11559 topic_id: 20235 reply_id: 79019[/import]
[code]
object1.name = “object1”
object1:addEventListener(“collision”, oncollision)
local function oncollision(event)
if event.phase == “began” and event.other.name == “object1” then
timer.performWithDelay(5000, showmsg)
end
end
local function showmsg(event)
–msg code here
end
[/code] [import]uid: 31078 topic_id: 20235 reply_id: 79021[/import]
object1.name = "object1"
object2.name = "object2"
object1:addEventListener("collision", oncollision)
local function oncollision(event)
if event.phase == "began" and event.other.name == "object2" then
timer.performWithDelay(5000, showmsg)
end
end
local function showmsg()
--msg code here
end sry i messed up the other code [import]uid: 31078 topic_id: 20235 reply_id: 79022[/import]
Here how i did it and it doesnt work
local function onCollision (event )
if event.phase == "began" and event.other.name == "shape" then
timer.performWithDelay (5000, showmsg)
end
end
local function shawmsg()
text = display.newText("Pop up goes here", 0 , 0 , native.systemFont , 16)
text:setTextColor (255)
text.x = 240
text.y = 160
group:insert(text)
end
rope:addEventListener("collision", onCollision) Something wrong here? [import]uid: 11559 topic_id: 20235 reply_id: 79027[/import]
make sure you add a name to the shape
shape.name = "shape" you have to tell it what its name is [import]uid: 31078 topic_id: 20235 reply_id: 79033[/import]
I did but my showmsg() is not being called and the text is not displaying . I dont know why [import]uid: 11559 topic_id: 20235 reply_id: 79037[/import]
try replacing:
timer.performWithDelay (5000, showmsg) with:
timer1 = timer.performWithDelay (5000, showmsg) if that doesnt work get rid of the local that is before the function on both of them [import]uid: 31078 topic_id: 20235 reply_id: 79039[/import]
Still nothing . Well here is my entire code that might help

I want rope to collide with the shape and then call function showmsg()
[import]uid: 11559 topic_id: 20235 reply_id: 79045[/import]
simple typo i think
change to :
function showmsg()
text = display.newText("Pop up goes here", 0 , 0 , native.systemFont , 16)
print "ok"
text:setTextColor (255)
text.x = 240
text.y = 160
group:insert(text)
end your function name I put was shawmsg() not showmsg() sry about that [import]uid: 31078 topic_id: 20235 reply_id: 79048[/import]
Still no luck. Thanks [import]uid: 11559 topic_id: 20235 reply_id: 79058[/import]
Try switching the onCollision() and shwmsg() positions in your code. Maybe the shwmsg function is not seen because it is after the call for it inside the onCollision function? Or you can try something like this at the top of your code:
Local showmsg, onCollision
That way the positions of those functions won’t matter.
No sure…also, do you get any error messages?
Good luck! [import]uid: 49236 topic_id: 20235 reply_id: 79074[/import]
Got it to work thanks man [import]uid: 11559 topic_id: 20235 reply_id: 79081[/import]
That’s great to hear! I am very happy for you. Just curious, was simply moving the functions? I was not sure about that suggestion but I am glad it help if that was the case.
In any event good luck for the rest of your app!
Mo [import]uid: 49236 topic_id: 20235 reply_id: 79087[/import]
Yes just switching positions of functions. Thanks again [import]uid: 11559 topic_id: 20235 reply_id: 79094[/import]
Thank you for the confirmation!
