PLAYER TOUCH PROBLEM

Posts

Pages: 1
In my game I want an event to be triggered when it touches the player. Although, player touch event trigger only works when the player is facing the event? Can this be changed?
1) what maker?

2) you need to set it to On Collision if in 2k3, or Event Touch if on VX. This will ensure it's when the event touches the player, not when the player touches the event.

What engine?


Thank you Narcodis, I am using VX. Sorry, should have been more specific.
When I set the trigger to event touch, the player has to press the action button.
Is the other event moving towards the hero? Or is it stationary?

What are you trying to accomplish here?

My game is like a pacaman stage. The hero is running around, trying to avoid the ghost. The ghost automatic movement is set to "approach". It's chasing the player. Sometimes the player has to press the action button, sometimes not.

Can't right now.
When I set the trigger to event touch, the player has to press the action button.

That makes no sense. My game has a boulder event, and if it touches the player with Event Touch it triggers the event sequence. You are doing something wrong.

Maybe it's something else. I have a couple of conditional branches in there, that may be the problem.
An easy way to test is to make a test map with an event set to chase and Event Touch. Just put a message in it so that it spouts something like "Gotcha" and see if you have the same problems.
