Question
I set up a simple Atari Breakout game. One bug remains unsquashed now - sometimes bricks don’t go away after getting hit. Here’s my GDScript code for the bricks:
extends StaticBody2D
func hit():
queue_free()
print("hit")
And my code for the ball:
extends RigidBody2D
@export var speed = 250.0
var direction
func _ready():
direction = Vector2(1,1)
func _process(delta):
position += direction * speed * delta
func _physics_process(delta):
var collision = move_and_collide(direction * delta)
if collision:
var reflect = collision.get_remainder().bounce(collision.get_normal())
direction = direction.bounce(collision.get_normal())
move_and_collide(reflect)
if collision.get_collider().is_in_group("block"): # Check if collided with a brick
collision.get_collider().hit()
print("COLLIDED WITH BLOCK") # put this here for testing
func _on_visible_on_screen_notifier_2d_screen_exited():
get_tree().reload_current_scene()
So what happens when I run the game is, sometimes bricks that get hit by the ball get queue_free’d, like it’s meant to, and sometimes they don’t. I put print statements in the if collision.get_collider().is_in_group("block"): and hit() sections to make sure that those lines are actually being executed, and they are. Apparently the hit() function is successfully executed every time a brick gets hit by the ball, but sometimes the queue_free() just doesn’t work. I couldn’t find a pattern to it. queue_free() just seems to not work randomly.
If anyone could tell me what went wrong, I’d be very grateful.
