Hello everyone! I'm making a game and I am using Bump library. When reading the tutorial, I think it is suitable for me. But I get this small problem, and I think it's easy with pro like you.
This is some code in tutorial:
Code: Select all
function movePlayer(player, dt)
local goalX, goalY = player.vx * dt, player.vy * dt
local actualX, actualY, cols, len = world:move(player, goalX, goalY, playerFilter)
player.x, player.y = actualX, actualY
for i=1,len do
local other = cols[i].other
if other.isCoin then
takeCoin(other)
elseif other.isExit then
changeLevel()
elseif other.isSpring then
highJump()
end
end
end
I don't know how to use this: other.isCoin, other.isExit, other.isSpring. How to identify it? We need to make that function? Or we needn't?
Or it have some method to know it is coin or exit,... in the tutorial but I miss it? Let you check it out:
https://github.com/kikito/bump.lua . Help me please! Thank you so much. Hope you will help me soon soon! I am so excited to make a game with bump as soon as possible. Sorry because my English is not good. My bad. My bad.

The "other.isCoin" etc. is simply a flag defined in the table, set to true or false. The "other" is set to whichever other table (object) is in collision with current object.
So you have some object that's a coin, and it has "self.isCoin = true" in it. Same for an object that's an exit and an object that's a spring.
The "cols" table comes from elsewhere and I assume it contains list of collisions between player object and everything else.

The "other" object is whatever object/table you added to bump when you created the objects in the world. You can assume it'll be whatever you added.
My approach is that any object I add to Bump has a "type" that's a simple string. I'm really consistent about this, so I know that anything I can collide with has this "type" property. I check that instead of "isCoin" or "isExit" and act on the collisions based on that instead.

Oh! I understand it now! Thanks you so much. It is a smart way. "self.isCoin"! Thank you so much!

Thank for your advice. It is a good way too. But I think it not suitable for a noob like me
LOL. Thank you so much.
