Those physics

Post by Mizore »

Hello, i have been messing with this awesome system. Apparently for some reason i cant get physics work properly.

Code: Select all

tile = {}
tile_s = 24

map=
{
{0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0},

And i have video to show where is problem. (the red boxes are map collision boxes)

(Video may still be processing.)

Thank you.

Thing is, you combine two things here that aren't meant to co-exist: tiles and physics. First you need to decide whether you need tiles or physics, then get the other part out. I'd say you need tiles, but I'm not sure.

I don't actually understand why they can coexist with each other, map is design is made of tiles, and invisible stationary physics blocks as non collide-able platform.

Yeah. I hate to say it... again... but 2d side-scrollers and Physics just don't work together. You need to make your own engine and "physics" like Nintendo does and Pixel (Who made Cave Story) and other companies, Sega, everyone. Everyone has a side-scrolling engine. It's not impossible to make. Just hard to perfect.

I tried a few times and failed myself. But one day I will get one.

Edit: One day SOMEONE here will make a working side-scroller engine framework and offer it as an example to Löve users so we can stop getting these same questions every week.

The problem is with assuming that :getX() returns a value that you can directly use to draw rectangles.

:getX() returns the exact middle of a physics object, so to properly draw a rectangle you need to substract it's width / height to get the top left corner.

Furthermore, to properly draw a rotating rectangle you have to use something like this:

Code: Select all

local ax,ay =  boxshape:getPoints()  --actually returns the coordinates that make up the polygonal shape (for rectangle its 8 variables)
love.graphics.draw(boximage,ax + offsetx,ay + offsety,boxbody:getAngle())

Thanks. Fixed few issues. Collisions work perfectly without rotation, if rotation is enabled... it f*s up.

Still, you need to roll your own physics.

love.physics is very capable, but using it here is using a hammer to drive screws in the wall.

Again as I said the problem is in drawing. Collisions work fine, you are drawing your world wrong.

Instead of correcting the x and y values, use the offsets to set the origin to center (ox and oy). (it'll fix rotation)
