Best way to make laser ???

Hi all

I have laser sprite with sine behavior, And i want to prevent it from overlapping the obstacle, And when not overlapping it will return to the default size.

Any help will be great

Thank's

I'd be glad to help if you could give more information..

Would creating a sprite which detects overlap at an imagepoint on the end of the sprite help?

LittleStain thank's alot

As you can see the blue laser is the same sprite with different sine behavior.

And the player can escape from it by stand behind obstacles.

There are as always very many ways to go about this..

Here's a very old but working example by R0J0hound

It's for rotating lasers, but will work for this purpose too..

Thank's for the capx

Perfect example.

If there a way to set fixed size for the laser and when overlapping obstacle the laser will shrink.

Or like a camera view searching for the player but can't view behind obstacles.

I'm not sure what you mean..

Ofcourse you can hardcode the laser size, but then it would just be easier to do it based on position rather than overlap, because if you shrink when not overlapping, it will never overlap again. Ofcourse using overlapping at offset could be of help in this situation, so maybe go there?

If youd like you could try and use the line of sight behaviour, but I think it's overkill for this situation.

What is "wrong" (not working for you) with the example provided?

Thank's Stain

i want to make this camera view, I've searched the forum but couldn't find anything, except of using Canvas plugin and i don't want use third party plugins.
