Hi! I'm making a game where the player clicks or touches the screen and his avatar walks towards that point and stops. It works great without obstacles. With obstacles the player avatar get stuck in the corner. See gif below. I managed to fix it, but it feels hacky. When hero (player's avatar) collides with box (obstacle on screen) I move him towards his target EXAMPLE: if hero collides with left or right side of box and target is above him, I move hero up a bit function collisionHandler(){ //prevent hero avatar from getting stuck on corners kick = 0.4; if(box.x < hero.sprite.x && hero.target.sprite.x > hero.sprite.x){ hero.sprite.x += kick; //KICK right } else if(box.x > hero.sprite.x && hero.target.sprite.x < hero.sprite.x){ hero.sprite.x -= kick; //KICK left } if(box.y < hero.sprite.y && hero.target.sprite.y > hero.sprite.y){ hero.sprite.y += kick; //KICK down } else if(box.y > hero.sprite.y && hero.target.sprite.y < hero.sprite.y){ hero.sprite.y -= kick; //KICK up } } Is there a property of ARCADE physics I'm missing? Do I need my hacky code or there's a better way of fixing it?
