I am having trouble figuring out how to setup a collision box for a tilemap layer and i can’t find anything about it anywhere i have read the docs and i can’t find anything so if anyone knows how to set this up please let me know.
Everything is explained in the documentation
the docs arent helping
What specifically is causing you trouble? Setting up collisions for different Tiles? The collision interaction with entities?
all i need is to add a collision to a tilemaplayer and i have no clue how and i cant figure it out with the docs i also suck at game dev so please explain like ur explaining to a 4 yr old lol
I’m not on my computer so tell this by memory :
ok so i didnt work i just drew on top of it and its probably cuz my brain dont work so here are somescreenshots one is a test launch and one is the editor
The collisionshapes are there, so whats the problem?
the collision shapes dont work instead they are just blue boxes in the gameplay. and also does the hierarchy matter as far as collisions go?
hierachy doesnt really matter. you need to set up the collision layer and mask of your physics objects
And what collisionmask do you have for your player?
default and i just realized that the way i am moving my character probably has something to do with this issue so i am currently using lerp whenever the right mouse button is pressed so maybe that is overriding the collision?
ok so i ran some tests and it is definitely because i am lerping the player to the mouse whenever the mouse is clicked i just tested with some rigid bodies and they are stopped by the fence so does anyone know how to workaround this
you need to set the velocity of your characterbody2d and then call “move_and_slide()” or “move_and_collide()” in the physics_process-method
ok so two questions how would i set the velocity and whats the difference between move_and_slide() and move_and_collide()
and also could i put it in a proccess funtion instead of the physics proccess function or are they different
they are different, the physics-process method gets called every physics-frame and is therefore meant to be used for moving physics-objects to ensure correct physics-behaviour. the difference between move_and_slide and move_and_collide can be found in the docs: “They are mainly used to provide high-level API to move objects with wall and slope detection (move_and_slide() method) in addition to the general collision detection provided by PhysicsBody2D.move_and_collide().”
Every characterbody has the velocity-variable:
func _physics_process(delta):
velocity = 100 # set the velocity here
move_and_slide()
ok thank you my brain tried to do this and i thought you had to get the velocity and then set the velocity to that so now i have a buggy version but i will swap to this thank you and im sorry if i made you explain simple things to me as my brain doesn’t like to work most days
