How do I respawn the Coin/Sphere that already collected?

Help & Support

var Coin = pc.createScript('coin');

Coin.prototype.initialize = function() {

    this.entity.collision.on('triggerenter', this.onCollision, this);

};

Coin.prototype.onCollision = function(event) {

    console.log(event);

    this.app.fire('Overlay:CoinCount');

    this.entity.destroy();

};

Hi @lowprioismylife and welcome! If you mean you want to add a new coin to your scene, you can create a template for you coin and instantiate this template.

First of all, if you want to keep the coin in the game you don’t want to destroy the entity, like you do right now. I’m not sure what you mean with respawn in this case. Do you want to change the position of the coin, if the coin is collected?

Yes please

You could also try disabling the coin and having some kind of a master script to reneable it after a certain amount of time. I did this at one point.

You need a reference for your new position first. That can be the position of an entity in your scene or a position that you create by script. Then you can set the position of your coin.

var newPosition = this.app.root.findByName('NameOfEntity').getPosition();
this.entity.setPosition(newPosition);

var newPosition = new pc.Vec3(0, 0, 0);
this.entity.setPosition(newPosition);
