Collision faces in tiles with 1.1.4

[rafaholiveira]

With Phaser 1.1.4, how I set up wich sides of a tile will collide in tilemaps?

[jpdev]

Let me join you in asking this.

 

Rich posted there will be n-way collision (in the 1.1.4 announcement thread) but the only thing I found in the examples so far was "One Way Collision", which does not help since it's only for sprites.

[jcs]

have you tried 'Tile.setCollision( left, right, up, down);' ?

[jpdev]

Hi jcs,

 

Even if that works (couldn't get it to work right away, but i will try some more) it is not what rafaholiveira and I were expecting, since you were able to set these options on tile-indexes in phaser 1.1.3.

(So for example every tile with index 6 in the map only collides from above, because it's a bridge tile you can walk upon, but jump on it from below)

 

If now the function is only available on the tile-data we would have to run a x/y scan over the hole map to fix every tile with tile index 6.

 

(SetCollisionRange had those up/down/left/right parameters)

 

 

At least setting it for all tiles in my map:

 

    var x, y, tile;

    for (x = 0; x < this.map.width; x++) {

      for (y = 1; y < this.map.height; y++) {

        tile = this.map.getTile(x,y);

        if (tile !== null) {

          tile.setCollision(false, false, false, true);

        }

      }

    }

 

Before or after calling SetCollisionBetween has no visible (noticeable) effect. Every tile still collides from all sides.

I confirm that Tile.setCollision( left, right, up, down) is not working.

too bad, it looked promising. it may be related to issue #371 (though a completely different scenario, it seems that updating collision info after it is created doesn't "take" properly...). or not.

 

@jpdev - yes, I understand. the API for tiles, tilemaps and tilemaplayers changed significantly in 1.1.4 - sometimes good, sometimes less good

[jpdev]

jcs: most changes are great (multi layer support and stuff like that).

 

I hope given a little time there will be n-way for tiles (be it for single tiles or a tile index).

 

If not it will be complicated to continue with my mario inspired game. (As I said, beeing able to jump through platforms from below is kind of a standard thing to do in platformers).

[jcs]

indeed. it seems to me that Tile.setCollision() was intended to do just that, but it didn't get implemented (the flags that it sets don't seem to be used, that I can tell). I would enter a github issue on this. maybe Rich can get to it for 1.1.5 

[rafaholiveira]

I opened a issue.
