How would i detect collison between a player and object using box2d

[l0ki77]

Hello I am currently making a game for my class and I was wondering how I would detect Collison between a Player and object using box2d. I would also wondering how you could spawn the object that the player collided with in a random location on the tiled map through the lenses of a camera.

Just from documentation:

Code: Select all

  if playerFixture:isTouching(objectFixture) then

https://love2d.org/wiki/Body:isTouching

or
https://love2d.org/wiki/World:queryBoundingBox

Use contacts: https://love2d.org/wiki/Contact
Specifically create callbacks:

I *would not* recommend using functions mentioned above as the documentation states they are not recommended and might miss collisions.
