Title: Create a collider on a new gameObject...
Post by: jbaldwin on May 16, 2017, 02:09:33 PM

In game, if you click, then drag, then let go, a line will be made at the angle of where you started to where in let go. I would like to add a collider to this line (bar) that is tight to the new object.

Right now a collider is created on the line when the line is created, but it's not the right size at all.

I hope I am explaining myself right, does anyone have any thoughts or tips on this?

Thank you.

Hi,

 you should be able to control the size of the collider you attached. have you tried this? you can use SetProperty for this.

Hi Jean,

Thanks for the quick reply. So after some fiddling, I think I know the problem a bit better. I am using the action Draw Line from the EcoSystem(I think you made the action). When the line is drawn, it's without a sprite, making the added collider unable to match its boundaries. My big issue is that the lines can be drawn at any angle (by intention). If I could get a sprite to match the boundaries, position, and angle of the texture "whatever it is", I would just have to add a collider after that.

Any thoughts? I feel like I am missing something.

Hi,

 ouch, I see this is going to be tricky indeed. You should use a framework for this like:

let me know how this goes, indeed you may need to create custom actions though.
