Help with collision handling!!

[XTRiZ]

Hi, i'm having some problems with my collisionhandling..

I have pixelperfect collisiondetection between the ground and my sprite, but really have no idea how to make my sprite walk upward or downward a hill, i can make it a hill in a specifik angle and walk it upward or downward with some special tile propertys but how to make my sprite walk upward the hill with pixelperfect collisiondetection?

I hope anyone understand what i'm talking of here :shock:

Sofar my experience with platformgames are limited to horizontal tiles only, but I think it isn't all that different. I take it you're checking for tile properties when you land on a tile? You could make a tileproperty 'angular'. In which case you use different animations for walking upwards, and of course you add an upwards movement when moving left/right.

I can't offer any code or samples, however there's a guy on the omega forums working on a game with angular tiles as well, perhaps you can ask him for more details: http://www.delphisanctuary.com/forums...

Since my project is made with Omega i've already been there, and yes i can do it with "angular tiles" but i would like to have some "irregular hills" also not just straight one. It was a couple of days since i last worked on it, but i thought of getting some hints from some more experianced game-makers..

Ah ok, well irregular tiles are whole different story. It would require a lot of checks, on the pixel level, which could affect your game speed quite a bit. In any case there's a CollisionDemo_2 in the omega package which may be of some help. It shows a collision check, with a pixel following the surroundings of the collided object. Exchange the pixel with your sprite, the arrow with your hills and you're well underway.

You could approximate you're map's contour with vectors and if anything collides with them push that object in the direction of their normals.

doh, i missed that example. I'll have a look at it later.

That vector stuff sounds intresting, i'll have to dig some more thou.

Thanks for the quick answers..
