Forums » Help » Entity Passing Through Solid with Mouse

I'm trying to move an entity around with the mouse but whenever I take it to the border of the map it doesn't stop me overlapping.

I'm using this to control the movement

this.pos.y = ig.input.mouse.y - this.size.y/2;
this.pos.x = ig.input.mouse.x - this.size.x/2;

That works fine, just the overlapping of a solid boundary that doesn't. I looked in to mapping the solid blocks myself but I don't understand it.

Thanks in advanced!

I am having the same problem. Did you find a solution for that?

If you set the position of the entity directly, it will override all collision detection. After all, you're basically "teleporting" the entity to the new position.

Try setting the entity's velocity instead, so that it moves towards the mouse pointer. This will account for the collision layer and stop the entity at solid tiles.
