Collision Event

[neolao]

Hi,

I try to use APE in my game project : http://code.google.com/p/puppetwar/
It works well, but I need a feature: I want to know when there is a
collision.

Do you plan to add something like CollisionEventDispatcher ?

I found that the event can be dispatched in
CollisionResolver.resolveParticleParticle function

Hi,

There's no built in events in the current release, but events are
planned for collisions (and other things) in the 0.5 version which is
scheduled for july 1 release.

You'll be able to use the standard AS3 event model. Something along
the lines of

myparticle.addEventListener(particleEvent.COLLISION,
myCollisionHandler)

and so on. The event object will contain all the information about the
event, which particle collided, the velocity, collision normal, etc.

For now, like you discovered, you can place a callback in the
CollisionResolver to handle it.

Thanks,
Alec
