Is there a collision exempt function

[xronn]

Hi, so I was wondering the best way to go about making my collision changes, I have 899 tiles and randomly dotted throughout the tiles are some I don't want the player to collide with is it possible to set a collision range E.g tiles "0, 899" then add an exempt collision e.g "exempt.collision(0,334,33,44,446,676);" Those tiles would not have collision on them, or do I just have to set loads of ranges.

 

thanks!

    /**

    * Sets collision on all tiles in the given layer, except for the IDs of those in the given array.

    * The `collides` parameter controls if collision will be enabled (true) or disabled (false).

    *

    * @method Phaser.Tileset#setCollisionByExclusion

    * @param {array} indexes - An array of the tile IDs to not be counted for collision.

    * @param {boolean} [collides=true] - If true it will enable collision. If false it will clear collision.

    * @param {number|string|Phaser.TilemapLayer} [layer] - The layer to operate on. If not given will default to this.currentLayer.

    */

    setCollisionByExclusion: function (indexes, collides, layer)

Thanks Rich! big help

Bump,

 

I just got round to adding this is it something like this?

    setCollisionByExclusion: function ([93,94,95,96], true);

Also do I need to put it in the create function or is it it's own. 

[rich]

It's done on the tilemap directly: map.setCollisionByExclusion() and yes do it in the create function.

Hi,

 

I tried changing it up to get it working but still having trouble

Uncaught TypeError: Object #<Object> has no method 'setCollisionByExclusion' 

This is my game code:

 

        //Loads the map        map = this.add.tilemap('level1');        tileset = this.add.tileset('tiles');        //Collision range        // tileset.setCollisionRange(0, 57, true, true, true, true);        // tileset.setCollisionRange(60, 62, true, true, true, true);        // tileset.setCollisionRange(90, 92, true, true, true, true);        // tileset.setCollisionRange(632,656, true, true, true, true);        // tileset.setCollisionRange( )        // tileset.setCollisionRange(97, 799, true, true, true, true);        // tileset.setCollisionRange(804, 899, true, true, true, true);        map.setCollisionByExclusion([93,94,95,96], true);

Thanks, I didn't include the last parameter as it auto assigns which is fine

Hmm you definitely using Phaser 1.1.4?

[xronn]

Ahh, 

 

I was using

1.1.3 - Built at: Fri Nov 29 2013 18:20:59

Is this feature only available in 1.1.4? 
Thanks!

[rich]

Yes, but there are other issues with 1.1.4 (physics related mostly), so if you're already working on a game I would stay put for now probably. Depends on the game type really.

[xronn]

Hmm, Okay I will stick with 1.1.3, my game is top down and I don't think it will need any physics I'll stick to what I know and just add ranges or re-arrange my tiles so that all the collide able ones are at the start not dotted throughout.

 

Thanks Rich!
