Hi Chris,

 

Very sorry I think I was unclear.......

 

In LE2 the function is Collisions(1,6,1) say to let the engine know types 1 and 6 do collide. Is there and LE3 equivelent?

 

Many Thanks!

The best is to attach some different script to type 1 and type 6 or have a custom global variable indicating who is it ? type 1 or type 6.

 

The mor esimple is to detect any entity that collides, than when it collides you just check the "script name" of the entity or some interna variable of the class.

If self.type == 1

If self.type == 6

 

if slef.script == Goblin (type 1)

if slef.script == golem (type6)

 

I htink there are good ways of doing what you want.
