I’m new to Godot so I might just be misunderstanding how things are supposed to work, but when my player is moving horizontally across the ground move_and_slide() is returning false (no collisions). When the player stops, it registers the collision with the tilemap. Shouldn’t it register the collision with the tilemap as it slides across it? Is there a way to get it to register the collision while still in motion?
func player_movement(delta):
var x_val = int(Input.is_action_pressed("MoveRight")) - int(Input.is_action_pressed("MoveLeft"))
if not is_on_floor():
velocity.y += gravity * delta
if Input.is_action_just_pressed("Jump") and is_on_floor():
velocity.y = -400
if (x_val == 0):
if (abs(velocity.x) > friction * delta):
if (velocity.x > 0):
velocity.x -= (friction * delta)
else:
velocity.x += (friction * delta)
else:
velocity.x = 0
else:
velocity.x += (x_val * ACCEL * delta)
if (velocity.x > 0 and velocity.x > MAX_SPEED):
velocity.x = MAX_SPEED
elif (velocity.x < 0 and velocity.x < -MAX_SPEED):
velocity.x = -MAX_SPEED
collision = move_and_slide() # returns false if the player is in motion
func _physics_process(delta):
# Other code here to get the collider and collision layer
player_movement(delta)
Modifies velocity if a slide collision occurred. To get the latest collision call get_last_slide_collision, for detailed information about collisions that occurred, use get_slide_collision.
Maybe try those methods (on your CB2D) to check for collisions? I haven’t used it this way yet so just guessing.
@ zdrmlpzdrmlp unfortunately I need to the actual collisions to get custom data from each tile as the player passes over it, so is_on_floor() doesn’t quite work
What does the game look like? (top-down, side scroller, etc.)
Have you googled get_slide_collision_count() etc to see how they’re meant to be used? May be some settings somewhere that leads you to a solution.
Finally, why not just detect yourself? Especially if it’s a top-down game it should be trivial to check which tiles player is on top of. I haven’t worked with tilesets specifically but you can check for visual intersection with any obj.
@ alextheukrainian. It’s a side scrolling platformer. Looking at the documentation is does look like it states that it “only counts times the body has collided and changed direction.”. However that did lead me down another Google rabbit hole where I could get it to do what I wanted with a RayCast2D Node, so thank you very, very much.
