Hey guys.

 

Is there any way to check in the boxcollider of an entity if there is an entity of the same type left/right/upper or lower of it?

i know where the collision comes from – but haven’t any idea on how to check if another appropriate entity is touching too on a different side.

Hi Kathi,

I’m not quite sure if i understand your question correctly, so i answer anything i can think of 😛

In case you want to check which entity you collided with:

BoxCollider {
  // ..
  fixture.onBeginContact: {
    var fixture = other;
    var body = fixture.parent;
    var component = body.parent;
    var collidedEntity = component.owningEntity;
    // now you can access the entities properties and functions
    var collidedEntityType = collidedEntity.entityType;
  }
}
         

 

In case you want to check the space around the entity for other entities you can use physicsWorld.bodyAt(Qt.point(x,y)). This is used in the StackTheBox demo game for example.

Cheers,
Alex
