Well, you'll have to define a radius around the block within which wtc will check for collisions. This is a little much, seeing as for every iteration of your loop, you'll have to check every one of those coordinates around the box to see if any collisions have taken place. A far better startegy when it comes to collision detection is to use Math.Distance() and determine the distance between the two objects. This may be a little more difficult that using wtc, but in the long run will serve you better. wtc does have its strong points, mind you, just don't rely on it too much. |
