How do I determine the time of collision

Hi all,

New to Construct. Just began 'playing around'. Looks nice. Question. I want to know the time of collision (or the time an object reaches the border of a layout). I have two instances of an object with both it's own speed. I want to go to a next level when both instances collide with an object (or layout border) at the same time.

You might use tickCount or time...

But it would be incredibly hard for both objects to collide at exactly the same time, I guess...

Perhaps it is not the time of collision you are looking for.

2 overlap checks in 1 event.

Event

player a is overlapping Finish

player b is overlapping Finish

action

go to layout

for time tracking purposes, you could give each player its own variable: starttime, endtime

and respectively set them at each event, after which you can use them in all sorts of calculations.

HarryDeBoer you could create timer like this

Hi all

thanks for your answers. helped me to get going. I created an instance variable for this and on collision with walls I set the (rounded) time to that variable. I can see (write to text) the time on collision so that is working but I'm trying to figure out now how to compare the time variable for all instances -at gametime I don't know how many instances there are- at once.

PS if the time for the instances is equal I restart the level with another instance added (so difficulty increases)
