“Applyforce” didn’t give me exactly what I want.So, i used translate method for moving. Movement is working.But, when player hit the block, it dont stop. I add also collision and rigidbody.

movement.js

var Movement = pc.createScript('movement');


Movement.prototype.initialize = function() {

    var isMouseEnter = false;
    var lastX;
    var isRight;

    if (this.app.mouse){
        this.app.mouse.on(pc.EVENT_MOUSEDOWN, this.onMouseDown, this);
        this.app.mouse.on(pc.EVENT_MOUSEMOVE, this.onMouseMove, this);
        this.app.mouse.on(pc.EVENT_MOUSEUP, this.onMouseUp, this);
    }
};

Movement.prototype.onMouseDown = function(event) {
    this.isMouseEnter = true;
    this.lastX = event.x;
};

Movement.prototype.onMouseMove = function(event, dt) {
    if (this.isMouseEnter){
        if (event.x > this.lastX){
            this.isRight = true;
            this.lastX = event.x;
        }
        if (event.x < this.lastX){
            this.isRight = false;
            this.lastX = event.x;
        }

    }
};

Movement.prototype.onMouseUp = function(event) {
    this.isMouseEnter = false;
};

Movement.prototype.update = function(dt) {
    this.entity.translate(0, 0, dt * -5);
    if (this.isMouseEnter){
        if (this.isRight === true && this.entity.getPosition().x < 3.5) {
            this.entity.translate(15*dt, 0, 0);
        }
        if (this.isRight === false && this.entity.getPosition().x > -3.5){
            this.entity.translate(-15*dt, 0, 0);
        }
    }
};

Hi @c3mcavus and welcome! If you want to move your entity with this method, you have to use a kinematic rigidbody on your player entity. However, with this method your player will not stop on a collision. So, to make your game work with this method you need to add a lot of extra logic to get the right result. My suggestion is therefore, to apply a force on the rigidbody and play with the settings of the rigidbodies to achieve the desired result.

If you still want to use the translate method and your game is not very complicated, then you can add an extra statement with a boolean, on your movement code.

// movement code of your player
if (hitBlock === false) {
    // move player
}

You can control this boolean on a script that you apply on your block entity.

// collision detection on your block
Block.prototype.onCollisionStart = function (result) {
    if (result.other.rigidbody) {
        hitBlock === true;
    }
};

Be aware there is a code and setup diffrence between collision and triggers.

The project isn’t too complicated, i’ll use it. Thank you.
