Why do you have to be a nuclear physicist to get checked working.

my missle object is checking against TYPE.BOTH - neither A or B is working, and player1 is set to type: ig.Entity.TYPE.A. I have no other properties set, and the instructions say type and checkedAgainst is all that is needed.

I am not using the level editor, this is a simple test project. Why can't I get this working? This is costing me time, and time is MONEY!

EntityPlayer = ig.Entity.extend({
    type: ig.Entity.TYPE.A
});

EntityMissile = ig.Entity.extend({
    checkAgainst: ig.Entity.TYPE.A,
    check: function(entity) {
        alert('Missile touched entity at ' + entity.pos.x + ',' + entity.pos.y);
    }
});

What collision mode are you using for each entity? LITE collides with ACTIVE or FIXED, and is the entity that 'moves'. FIXED collides with LITE, PASSIVE and ACTIVE. LITE or PASSIVE don't collide with other LITE or PASSIVE entities at all.

Thanks Joncom,

I was using .position instead of .pos ... why this didn't crash is beyond me. if I use .polePosition, this crashes, but .position doesn't - wierd.

Thanks again
