I have two cars and if they run into each other the game restarts how can i do this.
Here’s an example. Think of the 2 circles as your cars.
function setup()
c1 = physics.body(CIRCLE,50)
c1.x=300
c1.y=900
c2 = physics.body(CIRCLE,50)
c2.x=300
c2.y=600
c2.type=STATIC
end
function collide(contact)
if contact.state == BEGAN then
print("\
restart program")
restart()
end
end
function draw()
background(30, 30, 30, 25)
stroke(255)
strokeWidth(1)
noFill()
ellipse(c1.x,c1.y,100,100)
ellipse(c2.x,c2.y,100,100)
end
thank you. when I put the code into my game it didnt work. i think its becaus i have more than two car going in the game. My main set up is petty much the same as the code you just gave me, it just has more objects in the game
@Andrewsimpson4 If you want to check collision between selected objects, then give them a unique info value, then when a collision occurs, you check the info of the 2 objects to see if they’re the ones colliding.
EDIT: If your objects are defined in a particular order, you can simplify the if statement with bodyA and bodyB. bodyA is the object defined before bodyB. So instead of doing a double compare, you can do a single compare of bodyA.info and bodyB.info.
function setup()
c1 = physics.body(CIRCLE,50)
c1.x=300
c1.y=900
c1.info="c1" -- new code
c2 = physics.body(CIRCLE,50)
c2.x=300
c2.y=600
c2.type=STATIC
c2.info="c2" -- new code
end
function collide(contact)
if contact.state == BEGAN then
-- new code
if contact.bodyA.info=="c1" and contact.bodyB.info=="c2" or
contact.bodyA.info=="c2" and contact.bodyB.info=="c1" then
print("\
restart program")
restart()
end
end
end
function draw()
background(30, 30, 30, 25)
stroke(255)
strokeWidth(1)
noFill()
ellipse(c1.x,c1.y,100,100)
ellipse(c2.x,c2.y,100,100)
end
that kind of work. My game is I have a car that you control with your finger and you try to dodge the cars coming towards you. I noticed that when i move my car around and hit a car the game just freezes. but when i don’t move my car and just let the cars coming towards me hit me then it works and restarts.
@Andrewsimpson4 Since I don’t know what your code is doing, here’s something I threw together. I have one sprite (boy) controlled by my finger movement (joystick) and 2 sprites(boy and girl) moving down the screen. If the boy and girl collide, the program restarts. If the 2 boys collide, the falling boy just gets pushed around. I know that’s not exactly what you’re doing, but somewhat similar. Since c1 is defined before c2 or c3, I know that bodyA is going to be c1 during a collision. bodyB could be either c2 or c3. Since I don’t care about the c1 and c3 collision, I don’t do anything for that.

here is the code i am using to move my guy around. i think this is the problem because when i don’t move him at all and a guy runs into him it will restart but when i move him and then he runs into someone it wont restart
function touched(t)
if math.abs(t.x-c1.x)<50 and math.abs(t.y-c1.y)<50 then
c1.x=t.x
c1.y=t.y
I wrote another version that was closer to what you said your program did, and I was getting an error when the program was to restart after I collided with another object and I was still trying to move the object. Maybe that’s similar to what you were getting. The change I had to make was to add a flag when the collision happened so I wasn’t able to move the piece anymore until the program restarted. Try this. In setup, set the variable hit=false. In the collide routine before restart(), set hit=true. If the touch function, try this
function touched(t)
if not hit then
if math.abs(t.x-c1.x)<50 and math.abs(t.y-c1.y<50 then
c1.x=t.x
c1.y=t.y
end
end
end
If you want me to post my latest test so you can see what I did, let me know.
@Andrewsimpson4 Here is the other version. Is this close to what you’re trying to do. Slide your finger left or right on the screen to move the ship. Try to avoid the stars.

end

end

if t.state==MOVING and running then

if c1.x>WIDTH or c1.x<0 then

restart()
end
end
end
thats perfect thank you for your help
@dave 1707
One other thing in collide() you might want to change…
function collide(contact)
if contact.state == BEGAN then
if (contact.bodyA == "c1" or contact.bodyB == "c1") and (contact.bodyA == "c2" or contact.bodyB == "c2") then
running = false
restart()
end
end
end
@SkyTheCoder The long “if” statement isn’t necessary here because c1 is defined before c2, so c1 will always be bodyA and c2 will be bodyB. The only time you need a long “if” statement is when you’re not sure what order the objects will be defined. That would be when you create and destroy objects on the fly. In this case, the objects are created only once and not destroyed.
@SkyTheCoder I didn’t know either until I created a program with multiple objects that I could move. I would collide the different objects and see which one printed as bodyA and which one as bodyB. It always turned out that the bodyA object was defined before the bodyB object.
with the code where it has the boy coliding into the girl to restart can you make it so you can colide with bolth of them to restart @dave1707
@Andrewsimpson4 Just comment out the “if” and “end” statements like below. Anytime there’s a collision, the program restarts.
function collide(c)
if c.state==BEGAN then
--if c.bodyA.info=="c1" and c.bodyB.info=="c2" then
restart()
--end
end
end
