Help & Support

-----------CODE--------------

var Trigger = pc.createScript('trigger');


Trigger.attributes.add('Newobject',{type:'entity'});
Trigger.attributes.add('Game2',{type:'entity'});
// initialize code called once per entity
Trigger.prototype.initialize = function() {
     this.entity.collision.on('triggerenter', this.onTriggerEnter, this);
};


Trigger.prototype.onTriggerEnter=function(event)
{
  console.log(event.name);   
  var p=this.Newobject.getPosition();  
console.log(p);
  this.Game2.setPosition(p.x,p.y,p.z);    
  
    // this.Game2.enabled=true;  
  //  this.Game2.setPosition(p.x,p.y,p.z);  
  // // // console.log(event.Game2.position);  
  };

Hi @HasnainX,

Is your this.Game2 an entity with a dynamic rigidbody component? If that’s the case you can change it’s position only by using the teleport() method on that component. Since this object is fully controlled by physics:

this.Game2.rigidbody.teleport(p.x, p.y, p.z);

No Game2 is other entity i want to add position of newobject in Game2 when my object collides then trigger function will be called.

Can you share your project url to take a look? Not sure what’s wrong here.

Hi @HasnainX, any chance you share your editor url or at least screen grabs of you set up these entities?

Right now, setPosition() on Game2 entity won’t work because, this entity has children with static rigidbody. You can move a rigidbody component by using teleport() method. So you need to go and teleport each child entity that has a rigidbody component.

One way you can achieve what you want more easily with a trick, is to have your second level aligned with the first, have it disabled on initialize and when the time comes (on collision) just enable it by using this.entity.enabled = true . While the entity is disabled it isn’t part of the physics simulation, so you can use the regular setPosition() method.
