Platformer Collision Issues

Post by JesseH »

Hello all,
I am having some issues getting collision to work "flawlessly" like I would prefer it to do. At the moment, in my proof of concept, you can tell that collision handles strange. You can see very tiny jumps and movement that the player is having.
I believe it is a problem with how I am moving the player, in player:update. However I am not perfectly sure. Any advice on how to fix this, or how to optimize my existing code, that would be great.

Note* Had to fix a little bug that I got from fiddling too much. I can't fix anything else.

Is the player meant to be able to move? At the moment I can jiggle him left or right by 1 but he doesn't actually move!

Aren't I so clever with my comments :awesome:

Still sitting here, wondering why it doesn't work.

I'm not clear on what problem you're looking at. When moving horizontally on the top platform, I think I noticed the player hit a bump, but I could not get this to happen again. Is that (and only that) the current problem you're trying to solve?
