How would one go about repeating the collisions layer?
I'm still a beginner at some of this, It feels simple, but I just don't know how to go about doing it.

Thanks!

I'm curious, why would you repeat the collision layer?

I'm curious too.

You could try injecting some extra code into the collisionMap trace function:

// Repeating collision map (untested)
ig.CollisionMap.inject({
	trace: function( x, y, vx, vy, objectWidth, objectHeight ) {
		
		// Handle collisions right of the collision map.
		if(x>this.width * tilesize) x = x % (this.width * tilesize);

		// Handle collisions left of the collision map.
		if(x<0) x = (this.width * tilesize) - (Math.abs(x) % (this.width * tilesize));

		// Handle collisions below the collision map.
		if(y>this.height * tilesize) y = y % (this.height * tilesize);

		// Handle collisions above the collision map.
		if(y<0) y = (this.height * tilesize) - (Math.abs(y) % (this.height * tilesize));

		this.parent();
	}
});

i want to repeat the collision too. i am just letting the player go x distance and then after x distance i am ending the level. the background and objects repeat and new enemies spawn in. my goal is to see who can go the farthest; think canabalt. that is why i want the collision layer to repeat. ill have to give this a try and see if it works because i really need to figure out a solution to this.

If Canabalt is your goal, surely you need a long running - but ultimately variable collision map?

I'm thinking I'd do it with entities and reposition them as necessary.

i was thinking the same thing... but i think i am just going to check the bounds + the tile offset and lock the player from that area. that should work i believe.

In the event anyone reads this thread looking for a similar solution, this is probably what you're looking for.
