Forums » Help » Different kinds of collisions dependant on the Entities

Hi,

I'm making an RTS game and I'm trying to implement Friendly entities not overlapping each other, whereas they can overlap enemies. How would I do this?

I've fiddled around with making the Friendly entities' collision FIXED, but they just push things (Friendlys and enemies) not only out of their way, but they bounce off each other.

What do you have set for their .checkAgainst property?

I had to figure out something similar like this today to stop a player putting more than 1 game pieces in one board spot.

How I got around it was, for a game piece 'g' in its update():

Loop through all the other game pieces and don't update the position of 'g' if the distanceTo() from 'g' future position to any of the other pieces was 0.

Their types and checkAgainsts are ig.Entity.TYPE.A, as they have different actions which happen when they collide.

Ok I'll take that into account, thanks.
