Time for action — detailing the OnObjectTransition method

We will use this method to fire a timer that will switch the ID of an object. The ID is important for our collision checks. As we don't want to check the collision right away, we use a timer for a little delay:

  1. Inside the OnObjectTransition method, create an object timer with the game's tmObjSwitch constants. It should fire in 100 milliseconds:
    Method OnObjectTransition:Int(transId:Int, obj:ftObject)
g.eng.CreateObjTimer(obj, g.tmObjSwitch, 100)
Return 0
End

What just happened?

Since we don't want to check for collisions of the atom elements' connectors right away, we fire an object timer to do this with a little delay.

It's about time—timer events

Whenever a timer event fires, you want to act on it. If you don't, then it makes no sense to fire it in the first place, or does it?
