Platformer movement with maps not array levels
-
check out some of the gamejam games, iv made many platformers using maps, you need a jump switch so the program knows if your touching the floor.
`col = collidemap(player,true)
if len(col)>= 0 then
jump = true
endifif c.a and jump ==true then
player.y_speed = -40
jump = false
endif`there is a little more to it so if your still stuck check out the sample programs/gamejam games
-
So collidemap() returns an array of all the ’map pieces’ you’re touching? Do you have to set anything special in the map editor for that to work?
-
@toxibunny yep thats it all the boxes circle's triangles you draw in the map editor correlate with the collidemap() unless you name them which in that case you define them
-
Ok thanks for the help I'll give it a try.
