What Wick Editor Version are you using?
Ex. 1.19.

Describe the Problem
In my game, there are arrows that will be flying at the controllable character. I was wondering if there was any way to create a command where, if the arrow intersects the character, it will change the score (a text that I will use that will say “hits”).

I saw that there was a command on WickEditor that is in the “objects” section, which says (if) hits. Maybe I can use that somehow, but I’m not good with coding, so I’m not sure what to do.

Help would really be appreciated!

What have you tried so far?
I tried to look up tutorial videos, but I couldn’t find anything that helped me with this particular problem.

Do you have a Wick Editor File that we can see? Optional*
It says new users can’t upload attachments, so sadly, I can’t do that.

if(obj1.hits(obj2)) {} checks if obj1 is touching obj2. You can substitute obj1 for this to check if “this” is touching obj2. Put whatever you need in the curly brackets.

#3

the hits function tells if one object is touching the other object

#4

Can I put an action that I want to be done in the brackets? For example, the command that changes the score? I mean, I think I tried doing that and it didn’t work, but I can try again if you’re willing to help me with how to do it.

#5

Yes you can… that is it purpose.

if(obj1.hits(obj2))
{
// add actions here
}

@Jovanny thanks for the help with the if hits command it is very useful to me

#7

the if hit option is a collision code in my experience.

Usually, i can make an example with a coin collecting game.

So, if i want the coin to be removed or to random position or anything, i use:

if(coin.hits(player)){
this.remove()
}

so, that’s how it works.

You can learn more about it on the reference page.


On the object section you can find the hits() funtion
