So, I'm trying to check if an entity is touching a wall (part of the collisionMap) and if so do something.

I've tried using handleMovementTrace but that only partially works. The player has to be walking against the wall for that to work.

Any help? :)

If you take apart the spike entity in the jump n run demo, there is a good example of how to detect the collision map. I'd paste code but I'm on my phone :) I will when I get home though

Awesome, had no idea. Thanks for that! :)

EDIT: Here's a slightly modified (so it works on all four walls) working snippet

if(ig.game.collisionMap.getTile(this.pos.x + this.size.x, this.pos.y + this.size.y) 
|| ig.game.collisionMap.getTile(this.pos.x - this.size.x, this.pos.y - this.size.y)) {
  // IF COLLIDING WITH A WALL DO THIS
} else {
  // IF NOT, DO THIS
}
