Resolved Questions / SOLVED: Why won't some enemies recognize a collision? (Crash Course 2: Invaders)
« on: February 25, 2014, 02:06:35 pm »
I already posted a somewhat more detailed comment containing some unrelated info and questions over at the crash course (http://www.stencyl.com/help/viewArticle/182/) but this one question is especially dear to me:
Why is it that sometimes enemy ships don't realize they have been hit by a bullet?
I already 'fixed' this issue by killing off the bullets mere 0.1 seconds after they hit their mark (instead of instantly, like proposed by the tutorial).
But what almost drives me mad is the fact that for every enemy ship that didn't recognize a collision there were a few that did just that perfectly. I would understand if nothing worked. Or everything. But why are there inconsistencies between multiple members of the same group that are treated in exactly the same ways?
If needed, I'll post relevant screenshots of every event involved in an answer but I really hope that somebody might be able to explain this problem on a more universal level to me.
Thanks in advance and cheers,
IITH
