Pushable Sprite vs Wall (Collisions)

by practicing01 · in Torque Game Builder · 08/21/2012 (4:14 am) · 2 replies

With CollisionPhysicsReceive="false"; on the character sprite, it can push around other sprites that have CollisionActiveSend = "1"; & CollisionPhysicsSend = "1";. However, I need a way to stop the character from going through tables and walls etc. With CollisionPhysicsReceive="true"; I can do that but then I lose the ability to push other sprites around. Is there a better method for making unpassable objects or pushable objects?

One idea is to make the unpassable objects "Immovable", you can look for it in the documentation.
Or perhaps make the unmoving objects receive physics false but send physics true.

Thanks for the reply. I tried doing those things, the only way to make "immovable" objects work is by setting the main character sprite CollisionPhysicsReceive="true";. After that, I can't push other sprites around anymore. When I try, the velocity gets turned off or something and I have to keep tapping the key to "nudge" the object forward, instead of an effortless push. Why do I think the velocity gets turned off? When the character collides with an object and I slide off to the side, the character doesn't continue- I have to repress they key in that direction.
