Hi guys ,
Is there any way to have a collision outsite the simpleupdate function ? I want to have a special event when my character is approching a wall. The collision is working only on the simpleupdate loop but if i do that the event i want to do will update everytime that i really don’t want.
For example the event could be a Nifty message , it will loop forever and that’s absolutely not i want.
Maybe i didn’t understand a concept with JME i need explanations thanks in advance ,
Regards.
No, you have to do everything in the loop.
So , how am i suppose to add an event in a update ?
Since it will loop forever and maybe have an error , is there a way to force to only 1 loop inside the simpleupdate function ?
If you stop the loop you will have zero fps. You can enqueue tasks like this to run on the OpenGL loop:

I’m not sure i understand how it does force 1 loop , does your function inside the simpleupdate one ?
Can you do an example like my situation ? " A character is approaching a wall and there is a nifty message " how would you do that in the loop ?
[java]
public void simpleupdate(){
Function Collision {
If character.Position approaching Wall.position // already implemented that
Nifty Message
}
}
[/java]
How would you transform that to have only 1 instance of the nifty message ?
Thanks
No one ? 
make a boolean that will be used as a flag.
[java]
boolean onetimeNiftyEventTriggerd = false;
public void simpleupdate(){
Function Collision {
If character.Position approaching Wall.position && !onetimeNiftyEventTriggerd // already implemented that
Nifty Message
onetimeNiftyEventTriggerd = true;
}
}
[/java]
Thank you scrubalub it’s working and i understand the logic now
