Arcade Collision - Only from one direction?

[Chupup Games]

Hi!

 

I have a player sprite and a group of sprites that should collide. I use arcade physics.

It looks like the collision only happens when a member of the group hits the sprite from

the bottom, the sides and top is ignored. Is that correct or a bug?

 

Greetings,

You can set it explicitly on every body. This example should only report collisions and overlaps if it happens from above.

 

c.body.checkCollision.left = false;

c.body.checkCollision.right = false;

c.body.checkCollision.down = false;

What if you want collision to be in place so the player can't pass through a block, but remove the overlap detection?

 

For example: I want the block to be solid all the way around, and I want a player to get an update if he lands on top of the block, not simply bumps the side.

@lobsterhands: In the absence of a better idea, I'd make a composite object with 4 sides and react to every collision differently.

Interesting. That gives me some more ideas for the game. Thank you, mraak.
