Help With Gravity & A Jump Function?(75% done vol jump :D)

Post by TheP3 »

I made some basic collision detection, however, it's vary buggy... If anyone can help? Great! The way it works is it loads a collision map, black and white. Then, checks for every block if the player collides top, bottom, left, or right. I use a one pixel padding for detection. The core of it is in col.lua. You can look at the other code to if you want. It's all nicely documented.

The bugs are:
If i set the gravity(variable grav in player.lua) any higher, then the player falls into the block making it unable to move... :S
The above problem is what is getting me stuck, and stooping me form making my jump function... I also, would like to know if someone could help me make
a jump function "realistic" (meaning applies physics).

Also, sorry for being a dick and blocking out all the graphics... You can use the code tho

You stepped out of the map, I'm going to fix this soon... Just have got to write some code. hehe C:

On-start error is caused by line 14 in col.lua.
It needs rounding, like:

Code: Select all

local r, g, b, a = ColMapSource:getPixel(math.floor(x/blockscale), math.floor(y/blockscale))
I'm currently tinkering with collision function. Will post results once done.

I fixed the collision. Just made a conditional to test if the player is in the block push him out by 1px at a time. then, when he is out of the block set velocity to 0. Just really need a jump function....

Changes in player.lua

Code: Select all

require"col"

--Loads Image
ImgPlayer = love.graphics.newImage("GFX/Player/blob.png")
ImgPlayer:setFilter("nearest", "nearest")

Made a jump timer, however, now just need to add vol... Little stuck on this...
