Collision Help

[Prince Pwn]

This should be a way easier problem to solve than the other one. In my Pokemon World applet, the collision detection I use for houses works perfectly and goes something along the lines of this:

Java:

// Barriers             if (ashX + ashWidth >= X && ashX <= X + NPC.getWidth (null) && ashY + ashHeight >= Y && ashY <= Y + NPC.getHeight (null))             {                 if (pressed == "up") // Your house                     ashY = Y + NPC.getHeight (null);                 if (pressed == "down")                     ashY = Y - NPC.getHeight (null);                 if (pressed == "right")                     ashX = X - NPC.getWidth (null);                 if (pressed == "left")                     ashX = X + NPC.getWidth (null);             }

It does stop the player from going through an NPC, but say I'm on the left of the NPC going right, and I'm right against the NPC from the right and press up, I teleport below the NPC. Or if I press down, I'll appear above it. If I'm on the left going up or down, same thing. Look at the applet on the site, you'll see what I mean.

Rather then reseting ashs postion when he hits somthing you should simpley not let him move in that direction.

so somthing like:

if up && ash not hiting somthing if he goses up then
move ash up
else if........


Obevesly that is very pesdo code but you whould just have to compare what his postion whould be if he whent up and see if that hits somthign befor aucataly moving him up.

Also for games like pokemon a title system whould be better then seting the coselsion dimtetions for each house. You can find out more about title systems and rpgs by using our sreach function.

Hah all of a sudden something snapped. All I did was remove the >= and <= and replaced with < and > then boom. Perfect collision. Thanks for the suggestion though, I will take it into consideration in the near future.
