object collision

[unfrequented webforumsuser@macromedia.com]

hello folks,

I'm relatively new to lingo and director. Im in the process of creating a simple game where you have to push an bubble around a maze with your cursor. I need help with object collision detection.

Essentially I would like to be able to tell when the object your pushing round comes in contact with part of the maze or an obstacle within the maze (which will be just another cast member). When this collision occurs, the user loses a life (1 of three) and the level is reset.

I guess ideally I could put this script on the bubble cast member?

Also I need a seperate scipt that advances the game to the next level (loads a new director file) when the bubble comes in contact with a certain cast member.

Any help appreciated greatly.

You need to test for colision of your mover and each possible obstacle
each increment of motion eith in the script that's moving things, or if
using simple moveable sprite property have a score script test all
possible collisions each frame advance ( on prepareFrame)


from lingo menu"

if sprite sprite1 intersects sprite2 then


The ink setting effects the detected areas ( I believe) most inks detect
overlap of sprite rects, setting matte ink better detects irregular
shape boundary.


for a not outside of container test

if not sprite sprite1 within sprite2
