var Vent = pc.createScript('vent');
Vent.attributes.add('Flashlight', { type: 'entity'});
// initialize code called once per entity
Vent.prototype.initialize = function() {
this.entity.collision.on('collisionstart', this.onCollisionStart, this);
};
//Contact
// update code called every frame
Vent.prototype.update = function(dt) {
Vent.prototype.onCollisionStart = function(result) {
if (result.other.name == 'Player') {
this.Flashlight.enabled = true;
} else {
this.Flashlight.enabled = false;
}
};
};
// swap method called for script hot-reloading
// inherit your script state here
// Vent.prototype.swap = function(old) { };

Hi @Brent_Reddick!
Line 13 till 19 is a seprated function and should not be placed inside the update function.
Maybe it’s better to use a trigger entity instead. A trigger entity has no rigidbody component. To activate a trigger entity you can use events like triggerenter and triggerleave.

Is there a way to apply a enter and leave TO a rigidbody?
You mean you need trigger with a rigidbody? For that you can use the collisionstart and collisionend, like you already did.
In both cases the other entity (the player entity) need to have a rigidbody.
Your script looks correct to me now.
On what kind of entity did you attach the script?
Also make sure the player entity has the name Player and not player.
I solved the, issue.
I appreciate your help, thanks!
Your scene looks very good!
By the way, I suggest making it a little easier for yourself to work in your scene.
For example I would disable the roof entity in the editor and enable it by script in the initialize function somewhere.
I do the same for lightning in my project. When I work in the editor I want more light than in the actual game.
Thanks for the tip! Your compliment means a lot!
Oh and one more small thing I gotta ask, so it works great, but do you have any tips on making the flashlight equip transition look nice?
I’m not sure what you mean.
Like is there a way to animate it, like on collision enter a animation is played once, kinda like Minecraft inventory swap but my character with a flashlight
I had to check a Minecraft video to be able to know what you mean, but it looks like you want an animation when the flashlight entity is coming in view?
I think the best and easiest way is to use a tween and tween the position and rotation from the default state to the in view state.
