Default collision response not working with tilemap

by Alex Rice · in Torque Game Builder · 09/17/2005 (10:33 pm) · 4 replies

Using StaticSprites, I have the default collision response working. So even though I have not implemented fxSceneObject2D::onCollision I can still get physics collision and response, which is great.

However it does not seem to be working with a tilemap even though the tiles have the collision active flag set. The engine is outlining the tiles with BIT#5 Object Collision Polygon

So why no collision response?

I know I can implement fxSceneObject2D::onCollision and write my own response but that's not my intent yet.

Thanks in advance.

Have you enabled collision on the tile layer? You have to call setCollisionActive(false, true) an each tile layer that you want to have collisions.

Have you made sure your bitmasks are set correctly?

@Adam- Yes! I knew it had to be something simple.

@Hugeone just checking off "collision active" in the tile map editor is not sufficient, like Hugeone said [edit: like Adam said] you also have to call setCollisionActive(false, true) on the tile layer itself, in your script. Seems like a bug w/ the tile map editor, but lot of times Melv really has good design decisions for this stuff .

@LoTekK - I'm not using any group masks for my collisions.

thanks all
