Include more one value in collision array message

Feature requests
#1

Hello guys, i would like to make a sugestion

If possible please add in message array (from contact_point_response) the id of the other(s) collision object the participated of the collision moment… maybe something like:

message.other_collisionObject: …

or

message.others_collisionObject: …

here is my last topic, where this feature would make diference…

Getting other_id from a collision
#2

Hello,

I don’t know if I understand correctly your question, but you might be refering to the already implemented other_id parameter that already comes in the collision information received on every contact_point_response event.

See contact point response for more on this.

Remember … I’m speaking from receiver perspective.

Ok,

No, I don’t understand what you are trying to ask, sorry.

But I’ll expose 2 cases:

1.- hero receiving dino
in this case, in your hero.script’s on_message function, you get:
sender == any of the hero’s collisions, for example: msg.url(“main:/hero#branchHead”)
and other_id == dino_url for example url [main:/instance1]

2.- dino receiveing hero
in this case, in your dino.script on_message you get:
sender == your dino collision object, for example: url [main:/instance1#collisionobject]
and other_id == the player’s url, for example url [main:/hero]

And that’s it… I don’t understand the remaining part of your question.

Anyway, I hope this helps

NIce sample @Edgaronfo.

I just want access #branchHead (other.fragment_colission_id) from dino. today this it is impossible to do (i guess).
(what fragment touch my fragment?..(sensor/objectCollision))

but it is just a suggestion

Hmmmm…

I kind of get it, I myself have been having struggling with a very similar situation.

I ended up with something like (pseudocode arranged):

hero.script

on_messsage(...)
    if message_id == contact_point_response then
       if message.group == dino then
           if sender == url_feet then
               msg.post(message.other_id, "STUMP", { part = FEET })
           elseif sender == url_head then
               msg.post(message.other_id, "STUMP", { part = HEAD})

dino.script

on_message(...)
  if message_id == "STUMP" then
    if message.part = FEET then
       -- perform action when stump by hero's feet on myself...
    elseif message.part = HEAD then
       -- perform action when stump by hero's head on myself...

You just have to adapt your thinking to the message passing benefits of Defold! :wink:
