Simple Collisions

Solar2D Lua Language
#1

So i am writing a function that will destroy certain objects when the collide with this sensor. Im positive there is an easier way and i have overcomplicated it. But the point is, it doesnt work!

NOTE:

the sensor has the key = “key”
the other three objects have been assigned yes, yay, and die. I made these because if i gave them all the same one then it wouldn’t know what was actually colliding.

Oh, and why wont my removeSelf() work?

[blockcode]

local function winHere(w)

if(w.object1.key == “key”) and (w.object2.myName == “box”) then
w.object2:removeSelf();
if(w.object1.key == “key”) and (w.object2.myName == “triangle”) then
print(“2”)
w.object2:removeSelf();
if(w.object1.key == “key”) and (w.object2.myName == “circle”) then
print(“3”)
w.object2:removeSelf();
if(w.object1.myName == “box”) and (w.object2.key == “key”) then
print(“4”)
w.object1:removeSelf();
if (w.object1.myName == “triangle”)and (w.object2.key == “key”) then
print(“5”)
w.object1:removeSelf();
if (w.object1.myName == “circle”) and (w.object2.key == “key”) then
print(“6”)
w.object1:removeSelf();
end
end
end
end
end
end
end

Did you try adding them up like in a binary number and checking for bits?

About your removeSelf() not working, the w is the event object, not the display object. The object that needs to be removed is either w.object1 or w.object2

cheers,

okay, thanks. It works how it should the first time, but once it has been destroyed and another one spawns, after the code (ive updated above) runs, I receive an error in the terminal saying that this object has been removed before? [import]uid: 59735 topic_id: 16791 reply_id: 62867[/import]
