Instance Create at Collision Point

[ggiles892]

How would I create an instance in the collision event between two objects? I want an effect I created to be created right at the point of collision between the two objects.

So in Collision Event....

var collideLocationX;
var collideLocationY;
instance_create(collideLocationX, collideLocationY, object_effect);

-How would I find the value of those two variables?

That should get you started, but let me warn you that it is very performance expensive, so if you can avoid using it, do so. You could also use cheap positioning checks to determine the side of collision. For example, if an instance of obj_Player is above an instance of obj_Wall during a collision, you might create an instance of the effect object at the top of the wall instance. But that might or might not work depending on the type of game you're working on.

You may want to take a look at phy_collision_x and phy_collision_y. Hope that helps.

If you know the objects both are the same size and both have the center as the origin, the collision point is the midpoint of their coordinates.

Has a simple solution for this ever been determined? I'm trying to add an explosion effect at the point of collision between bullet mask and target mask and for the life of me I can't figure it out.

Nevermind, just as I hit send I realized I just need to change the bullet instance to the explosion effect instance upon collision lol. JFC
