Algodoo

Hey this is one awesome first scene! =)

But at least for me sitting on algodoo 2.1.0b8 the script in the ignition lasers makes the lasers get collideset 11 as soon as the lasers collide with something. This is due to the on laserhit script in the lasers declaring one set collideset(the same as the "explosion balls") and erasing your variable.

There is an easypeasy fix for this thoug, you just need to put an colon before the equal sign in the values like this:

(e)=>{
scene.addcircle({
pos := e.pos;
collideset := 11;
radius := 0.7;
density := 30;
friction := 0;
restitution := 2.0;
color := [1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0];
edgeblur := 0.3
})
}

I don't know if this behavior is an bug in the beta version im using, but I belive it still would work in any version if you updated the script.

Im only trying to help. Great scene anyway and welcome to algobox! keep up the good work

Thanks a lot man. That was very helpful. I was honestly a little afraid to check these comments, it being my first scene. Yeah I made this on a pretty old Algodoo. Not sure what version. But I'm about to update and see if I can get it running on the newest one.

Alright. It should treat everyone a little nicer now. Thanks again for that awesome advice. And let me just say it here, THE NEW ALGODOO IS AWESOME! So smooth and stable! I can put a lot more gas in the tank now that it's not a slideshow.

In Algodoo;

:= is used for creating new variables,
= is used for setting them.

This is common coding practice where there are several versions of the = sign, all for different purposes, I forgot about that

great work!!!
