multi layer json collide

[Heppell08]

Yeah the topic pretty much explains. My issue is I'm making a topdown map for testing at the minute but for some reason, I can't get the 2nd layer to collide.

I can get the first main layer to collide but can't collide the 2nd. What I'm after is the main bottom layer to have no collisions at all and have the 2nd layer be the collide layer.

Now I've switched the layers but that removes the 2nd layer under the main layer etc.

When I debug I get no bounds on the second layer. They both are in the same json file.

I tried var layer2 and created the map with everything visible as should be but just doesn't collide. I've also given the update the arcade collide for player and layer.

Any ideas?

Can you post the code you use to load the tilemap and its layers? As well as the collision code?

[Heppell08]

The code is standard:

Layer1 = map.createLayer('TileLayer1');

Layer2 = map.createLayer('TileLayer2');

Then I have:

Layer1.resizeWorld();

Layer2.resizeWorld();

Then my update is:

this.game.physics.arcade.collide(player, Layer2);

Does layer2 has a physical body?

That's what I've done:
 

[..]create: function() {  [..]  game.physics.arcade.enable(this.player);  [..]  this.layer1 = this.map.createLayer('background'); //no collision here  this.layer2 = this.map.createLayer('obstacles'); //collides  this.layer1.resizeWorld();  this.layer2.resizeWorld();  game.physics.arcade.enable(this.layer2);  this.map.setCollisionByExclusion([],true,this.layer2); //collides on every tile  [..]  },update: function() {  game.physics.arcade.collide(this.player, this.layer2);  [..]}, [..]

And it works: http://tannhauser-gate.net/projects/games/tilemap-test/ (currently here it is layer3, 'cause, layer2 collides different, see: http://tannhauser-gate.net/projects/games/tilemap-test/js/test.js)

Hmmm, I didn't set any physical body property to my 2nd layer. I'll check your code against mine soon and see but looks like you're doing the same as me. Thanks!

Does collision not always require a physical body? Thought so, as it's not known to ARCADE otherwise. Just let me know your feedback, I owe you one.

[Heppell08]

Yeah I totally overlooked the enabling of the layer because of the first layer (automatically?) having a physical body. All the better for knowing now though thanks!

Thanks, works like a charm!
