Tile based questions?

[hooligan2001]

Just a few questions

1/ How do i detect collision on a scrolling map when i have heaps of tiles in my game ?

2/if the map has reached it maximum scrolling enable the character to walk .

3/ if when scrolling the character hits a non walkable tile stop the scrolling .

4/ when the character reaches a certian distace in the map start scrolling ?

[hooligan2001]

i think i figured out the problem with the multiple tile collision

would it be smart to store all the non walkabble tiles in an array ?

nonwalk = [1,2,3,4,6,7,9,15,16];

Anyone ?

Well, collision is just the same.

Have a look at this fla, though it isn't perfect:

You should not let the screen scroll because the person that plays the game presses some keys!

In my game the game scrolls depending on the x/y coordinates of the player on the screen.
If the player gets too far to the edge of the screen the game will scroll.

I think that is the best way.

That's the way I do it in that one, it only scrolls when they get to the center and it needs to scroll.

is there anyway to check collision with oblique objects in a tilebased engine without resorting to hittest?

[hooligan2001]

Yeah this is what im trying to get working

the player is able to move around till it reaches 3 tiles away from each side then the player movement stops and the crolling kicks in , when the scroll reaches its max scroll the player movement kicks back in.

Hey ed are you retrieveing the array from an xml file ing that scroll example ?

Yeah, you need to right-click and save this:
