Hello, i made a little scenario where you can fly around with a spaceship and shoot rocks. if you touch the rock with the ship it explodes. now i have the problem that it gets destroyed even if you dont hit the rock because the hitboxes are squares. How can i fix this? The spaceship The Rock thanks :)

You could try a different collision method (maybe having spaceship use the getNeighbours method). You could ask a neighboring rock to try getObjectsInRange back on the ship as a further stipulation. That way you are taking into account the near circular shape of the rock as well as the "diamond" shape of the ship. I think the combination of the two checks might make collision look a lot more reasonable.

Im a noob at programming can you maybe show me how to use the getNeighbours method with getObjectsInRange pls? The spaceship code:

You would have something like this in the Spaceship class:
?
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12
public void TriggerEx()
{
    Rock rock = (Rock)getOneInterssectingObject(Rock.class);;
    if (rock != null && getNeighbours(getImage().getWidth()/2, false, Rock.class).contains(rock) && rock.hitsShip(this))
    {
        explode2();
        //Ton6 gibt Fehler
        //Ton6.play();
        //Explosion noch nicht funktionabel
        //getWorld().addObject(explosion, getX()+1, getY()+1);
    }
}
Line 4 says if any rock is found touching the ship, see if it is within diamond hit box of ship; and if so, ask rock to check if ship is within circle hit box of rock. Then this in the Rock class:
?
1
2
3
4
public boolean hitsShip(Ship ship)
{
    return getObjectsInRange(getImage().getWidth()/2, Ship.class).contains(ship);
}
If you want to visually see what these hit boxes look like, check out my Hitbox Visualizer scenario.

Thank you it worked :) but can i do something like
?
1
getImage().getWidth()/1.5
? or how do i half the number?
danpost danpost

#
The code you gave tries to get two-thirds the width, which I would do by way of a fraction (always multiplying first):
?
1
getImage().getWidth()*2/3
For half width, just divide by two (which is what I used in both code sets above).
