As the topic says, I want to know how to get the ID of an active colliding entity.
My Player Entity is called with
Crafty.e("Player") Please notice, that I do not want the ID of my Player Entity. I want the ID of the Collision element

5 Do you want the id of the entity your player collided with?
var mobs = this.hit('Mob'); if (mobs) { // mobs is an array, could be more than one var collidingMob = mobs[0].obj; // if you still want the crafty id of this entity var mobId = collidingMob[0]; } 
- \$\begingroup\$ Hm, if i call the "mobId" per alert, nothing useful is returned.. Its just [object Object] \$\endgroup\$user3398698– user33986982014-09-10 21:25:06 +00:00Commented Sep 10, 2014 at 21:25
- \$\begingroup\$ So, if i use this method on "this" it's working: alert(this.getid()) \$\endgroup\$user3398698– user33986982014-09-11 05:48:48 +00:00Commented Sep 11, 2014 at 5:48
- \$\begingroup\$ Firstly, don't use alert, use console.log(). Then you can see the object itself in your console. Second, "this" in this context is your player, or the entity you are using to test collision. Not the entity you collided with. Third, using your method you would want collidingMob.getId() to get the crafty id of the entity you collided with. \$\endgroup\$Sanojian– Sanojian2014-09-11 07:12:17 +00:00Commented Sep 11, 2014 at 7:12
- \$\begingroup\$ Perhaps you need to know that I'm using the TiledMapBuilder.js component \$\endgroup\$user3398698– user33986982014-09-11 20:44:40 +00:00Commented Sep 11, 2014 at 20:44
- \$\begingroup\$ Ahh, that is probably the cause of our confusion. Sorry I know nothing about that component. Please include important information like that in your question. \$\endgroup\$Sanojian– Sanojian2014-09-12 08:23:59 +00:00Commented Sep 12, 2014 at 8:23
