How do I do collision with Tiled ?

[VetruvianSprite]

I'm in the process of making a game right now, and I made a map with the Tiled map editor and am using ATL to load it, I got it to display and everything properly but I'm a bit lost as far as how to do collision, can anyone tell me how to go about doing it ? and please if you can, keep in mind i'm not very good yet, thanks. XD

I want to make it so the player collides with the stone tiles.

Technically there are two parts you have to do: (1) Access the collision information from the map and (2) Do the actual collision stuff.

In which part do you need help?

Well honestly, both.

I learned a lot from the tutorial on Exploding Rabbit. It does collision and uses Advanced Tiled Loader, so hopefully exactly what you need.

if you right click on the stone tile in the tilesheet and give it a property called "obstacle" or "solid" or "poophole" and then when you iterate over the tiles on your map inside the code, you can say something like:

Code: Select all

for x, y, tile in map("Layer_Name"):iterate() do
		if tile.properties.obstacle then
                        -- Make it solid, lel
		end
end

Where in the program would I want to put this?

Would anyone mind going into a little more detail on how to make obstacle tiles solid, as in the above for loop?
