Forums » Help » Entities falling through solid tiles.....

I'll post my skull entity in a sec, but when i place it in the welt and then run it, it falls right through the floor. I'm sorry if i've repeated a previous forum post, but i did not see anything about this particular issue. and Yes, i've placed solid tiles, from the media dir where the floor should be. i'm just running a simple test to see if the entity looked right.

ig.module(
	'game.entities.skull'
)
.requires(
	'impact.entity'
)
.defines(function(){

EntitySkull = ig.Entity.extend({
	
	size: {x:56, y:56},
	collides: ig.Entity.COLLIDES.FIXED,
	
	animSheet: new ig.AnimationSheet( 'media/skull.png', 56, 56 ),
	
	init: function( x, y, settings ) {
		this.parent( x, y, settings );
		
		this.addAnim( 'idle', 0.1, [0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,1] );
		
		this.vel.x = 0;
		this.vel.y = 25;
	}
});

});

thanks for the help!

Did you tick connect with collision layer? It happens if your collision layer don't reflect the main tile layer

Yes sir. I even tried different tilesets, still falling through. It almost looks like the entity layer is on top of the the other layers, b/c the entity just falls right over the top of it. shrugs idk. i'll keep pluggin at it. thanks for trying though.

if it falls, the collision layer is set wrongly. Feel free to package the code for us to see, of use pastebin.com

yep, got it all fixed up now. lol i'm not even gonna say what it was. but thanks for your help!

Why not say what it was? I'm kind of tired of people who think this is their own support forum. Share the solutions please!

@Kxen - I would think it was something trivial not something that dahl wouldnt share - And I bet it was the collision layer not set properly or sized. There is no other explanation to the error.

@Kxen, it was a rather dumb little error, lol. i had clicked the "link with collision" ON the collision layer, instead of the main layer. but it all worked out. i'd post what i did if it were not something n00bish like that. :)

thanks for the help guys. that's what i get for trying to code at 3am.
