having trouble with sensors

[Lewis Lepton]

howdy folks,

i really like using nape. digging in much further into it. but sensors are really bugging me in many ways to get going.

ive followed everything that i can think of, even going to interacts, but those spit out WAY to many messages for what i need, i just need a single message to say that something has been touched/collided/sensed. collision has worked perfect, got that down, but sensing is something WAY diferent

i have tried to follow everything i can on this forum & stuff online, but am either getting lost in how people are discribing things or the implimintation of things. i doesnt help being disclecsic ;)

so some things that are spoken about, im having a bit of trouble actually understanding

but this is what i currently have right now. help would be really... errr... helpful ;)

im using haxe by the by if you were wondering, not as3. ive checked as3 demos but am coming up dry for sensors

class Project {

var goal:Goal;

var space:Space;

var ball:Ball;

var listener:InteractionListener;

var goalSensorCollisionType:CbType = new CbType();

var ballCollisionType:CbType = new CbType();

public function new() {

space = new Space();

goal = new Goal(space, 300, 300);

ball = new Ball(space);

listener = new InteractionListener(CbEvent.BEGIN, InteractionType.SENSOR, goalSensorCollisionType, ballCollisionType, collideGoal);

ball.body.cbTypes.add(ballCollisionType);

goal.goalFloor.body.cbTypes.add(goalSensorCollisionType);

 

space.listeners.add(listener);

}

public function collideGoal(callback:InteractionCallback){

trace('BLAHHH');

}

}

& inside the goal i am using a goal sensor to call up which has this set inside it

shape = new Polygon(Polygon.box(width, height));

shape.sensorEnabled = true;

thanks if someone can point me in the right direction. as its just beginning to go round in circles now

actually here is more of the goal thing

body = new Body(BodyType.KINEMATIC);

body.allowMovement = false;

body.allowRotation = false;

shape = new Polygon(Polygon.box(width, height));

shape.sensorEnabled = true;

body.shapes.add(shape);

nobody?

ive been trying since posting but its still not sticking or making sense to me to be honest

[Lewis Lepton]

actually. think ive just stumbled across something. will post up my findings in a bit when i tidy things up

[T1m_]

Here is the problem:

(BodyType.KINEMATIC);
body.allowMovement = false;
body.allowRotation = false;

I can't tell you more because it was a long time ago when I stuck with similar issue. But I believe the problem with these 3 lines. Since kinematic body not moves without explicitly setting its velocities, line 2 and 3 are needless. Try to remove them and see if it helps.
