LÖVE

Hey everyone,
It's me again.



^ this is a photo of the problem.

As you can see, the bullets that are fired from the player are super fast, and sometimes they go through walls because of this. (I think)
I've tried everything.
Killing the velocity, using the seperating vector, and probably alot more tinkering with stuff.
The collision seems to work flawlessly if I degrade the speed of the bullets. But I obviously want them flying at high speeds!

I've attached a .love file, excuse the visual enhancements and not using OOP. btw the light vs shadow engine is supa awesome!

Thanks, Ettthhaaannn!

I think Hardon Collider has some setting to prevent bullet passing through, but if you can't find anything you could split its update function, simply calling it twice in a row with dt/2 as parameter

Are you saying to get the update function from the lib, then call it twice?

^ Didn't work if that's what you meant.
It stuffed it up more.

To prevent tunneling you can:
1.use a fixed time step with accumulators. the most sensible solution if you know the max velocity of bodies
2.use ray-casting to simulate very fast moving objects
3.use a continuous collision library like box2d

I'm real new to all this stuff, can you please describe how to do the 1st solution?

btw I'm not keen on using box2D XD

Yo!
Your box is made out of 4 harddon collision rektangels. Increase the width (or hight) of them would fix the problem
