I've been reading these forums for months now but since starting developing a love game, i am starting to feel like i need a little help. So what would i find a better place for my questions
.So i am making a platform game, mario-style, with maps created with tiled software.
after programming the basic moves, i started messing around with collisions with the map in order to make my player interact with the platforms. I successfully did that with 2 ways:
1. Only with advanced loader, i check the player coordinates(the y coordinate) if they "collide" with the tiles with the ground property, and if the conditions match then make my players vertical speed zero.
2. With hardoncollider, i read all the map, and draw rectangles on every groundtile in the map then call the collision callback whenever my player's rectangle collides with the tile rectangles.
Both ways are problematic... Sometimes randomly when jumping my player just passes inside the tiles without colliding... Some other times i see that the collision is accompished but the player's change of vertical speed is not fast enough resulting the player to pass the tile, and then keep falling down (because there are no more collisions....)
With the second way, i am experiencing a huge lag when walking on the collision boxes...(it uses almost 700 mbs of ram.....) And thats why again when my player jumps with so much lagging there are times that the collision callback function is never been called...
With both ways the serious problems are while jumping... And another issue that just gets on my nerves is that my player's landing on the tile is never constant... Because of the collision lagging in both ways, my players y coordinate after jumping is never the same, it may be lower it may be higher, if the game lags instantly, my player will land in the middle of the tile. if it doesn't he will land at the top of it...
Am i heading the wrong way? Which one is the correct one, and what do i need to change? There is always the solution to directly affect the players y coordinate on the collision, but it must be a better way to do it...
any help is highly appreciated
thanks in advance
