Forums » Code » Entity Childs

Hi iam new with Impact and want to share my solution:

i was stuck in moving an entity as parent... so it moves it childs as well.

so i had changed the entity.js (sure it could be a plugin :) )

please see below

so you can move your parent with moveBy(deltaX, deltaY);

i hope someone need this as well :)

hello, i found some errors and make some process with the plugin.

ps: is there a way to edit my first post?

ig.module(
    'plugins.entitychilds'
).requires(
    'impact.entity'
).defines(function() {
  ig.Entity.inject({
	// array of child entities
	childs: new Array(),
	
	//override
	update: function() {
		this.parent();
		for(var i=0; i<this.childs.length; i++) {
			this.childs[i].update();
		}
	},
	//override
	draw: function() {
		this.parent();
		for(var i=0; i<this.childs.length; i++) {
			if( this.childs[i].currentAnim ) {
				this.childs[i].draw();
			}
		}
	},
	//override
	kill: function() {
		this.parent();
		while(this.childs.length>0) {
			this.childs[0].kill();
			this.childs.erase(this.childs[0]);
		}
	},
	//override
	receiveDamage: function( amount, from ) {
		this.parent( amount, from );
		for(var i=0; i<this.childs.length; i++) {
			this.childs[i].receiveDamage(amount, from);
			if( this.health <= 0 ) {
				this.childs.erase(this.childs[i]);
				i--;
			}
		}
	},
	addChilds: function( newChilds ) {
		for(var i=0; i<newChilds.length; i++) {
			this.childs.push(newChilds[i]);
		}
	},
	removeChilds: function( delChilds ) {
		while(delChilds.length>0) {
			this.childs.erase(delChilds[0]);
		}
	},
	moveBy: function( x, y ) {
		this.pos.x += x;
		this.pos.y += y;
		for(var i=0; i<this.childs.length; i++) {
			this.childs[i].moveBy(x, y);
		}
	},
});
})

This is cool @Mario. I will have to try this out.

To edit old post, just highlight the title of the post and on the right side there should be an "edit" option next to quote if you are logged in and are the owner of the post.

EDIT: You should post this plugin on Point Of Impact
