Collision

Post by BobTheLawyer »

Is there an easy way to make collision?
I really would like to find an easy collision method that works well and is compatible with Bartbes Class.lua...

if you have problems with hardon collider or you want a more basic collision system, i recomend you to use this simple function from the wiki :https://love2d.org/wiki/BoundingBox.lua

Please try doing a forum search. There's a lot of content related to that.
Do you recognise when the world won't stop for you? Or when the days don't care what you've got to do? When the weight's too tough to lift up, what do you? Don't let them choose for you, that's on you.

Thanks, but can I please see an example in a .love or folder format? (using class.lua)
That would be so incredibly helpful!

I did. I am pretty new to forum searches, so I couldn't really find what I was looking for easily.
If you find something covering what I ask, by all means, I would LÖVE to know.

Why not just make your own (simple) lib?

it isn't to hard to make a collision function for rectangles colliding with rectangles, or circles colliding with circles. Plus, if you make your own, you will totally understand it, and the theory behind it.

if you really want to use a pre-made lib, most of them come with demos, but I still suggest that you start by trying to make your own, even if you do end up using a lib later, it will help you understand whatever lib you are using a lot!

Good luck! :awesome:

Here is a very simple example, is a box falling.
So, basicly, what the function do is to detect if the box is touching the floor.
also, i dont know how to use "class.lua"

btw are you from the mari0 forums?

Seems to be working properly.

What's class.lua ?
If you're looking how to create classes, you can have a look here, there's some explanations.
You also have lots of advanced libs for OOP: MiddleClass, 32log, 30log, SECS, and a lot more, just search.
Hope this helps.

I have never used classes in lua, but i think that BobTheLawyer was talking about the class.lua used in Mari0.
EDIT: lol, i recently dicover that is the SECS system :P

class.lua
