Actor mode

 

Actor mode

Directory: selected actor > physics > Advanced.

 

Introduction:

Most of the actor demands are in the collision section. By reducing the physics mode, the demand will be significantly reduced. However, disabled some of its functions for selected actors. Stencyl uses Box2D as physics. Stencyl-based game developers can compromise between functionality and efficiency for computer to run each actor.

Physics mode. 

All modes allow mouse interaction. Under all physics modes, actors can be killed.

To prevent a solid actor from passing through another solid one, Both actors needs to have default actor mode. Other they will overlap one another. 

Abilities	Minimal	Simple	Normal
anchor to screen	no	yes	yes
regions can sense?	no	no	yes
Solid actor interaction with other solid actors.	Lets other solid actors pass through even if its solid	Lets other solid actors pass through even if its solid	Only other actors that is not solid will pass through.

Code to change physics mode: in selected actors. 

actor.physicsMode = MINIMAL_PHYSICS
actor.physicsMode = NORMAL_PHYSICS
actor.physicsMode = SIMPLE_PHYSICS
