Stop the sprite when it hits a solid object.

Hey guys,

I'm trying to achieve this (sorry about the glitch)

I want to stop the object when it hits a solid while it's going forward/backward or rotating.

I tried to use 8 Direction and Car behavior but they don't work so I tried Custom Movement.

This is what I achieved so far it's almost same as Car behavior.

Is there any way to make this movement in C2? I thought it's an easy thing to do before I start. I still can't believe how hard it is

Thank you!

Try adding an event that goes something like either one of these

On collision with wall.object -->

Set Tank speed to 0

wait 1-2 secs

Set Tank speed to (normal speed) or play around with acceleration

or maybe even better

On collision with wall.object -->

start ignoring input

wait 1-2 secs

stop ignoring input

just test it and see what works best and tweak it from there

hope that helps

mystazsea Thank you for replying!

I figured out how to make it. I added 4 sprites every corner of the tank and check their collisions separately.

bilgekaan, you don't need placeholders, you can use the checking overlapping at offset instead and you'll improve your performance, because placeholders increase significantly the number of collision checks. I'm working in a sandbox of my template where I was using placeholders and now it's all checking with offset, the improvement is huge.
