Collisions when using tilemaps?

by Ty Newton · in Torque X 2D · 01/14/2007 (9:26 pm) · 6 replies

Hi,

I tried to setup a tilemap with collisions and it doesn't seem to work. I created a tilemap and brush'd in a couple tiles with a material. I made sure the collision vector was the full size of the tile.

Is this the way to do collisions with tilemaps or is there another way?


Thanks,
T

Did you add a collision component and set it to collide with the object type that you are trying to collide with? Should have a collision comp set up for the object you want to collide as well.

I have collisions working with tile layers. Here's how I have it set up.

1. Layer: collisions enabled, no components
2. Tiles: collisions enabled on some individual tiles
3. Player: collisions enabled, collision component collidesWith t2dTileLayerType and TileType

I started my project again and was very careful about setting the collision options. This time everything is working. I must have made a simple mistake somewhere.

Thanks for the help.

Where are these collision types defined? How would you go about figuring that info for other object types?

What collision types? Do you mean the resolve types?

The collision types are of formal type TorqueObjectType and are typically fed in through the CollidesWith field of the collision component.
