Player Atop Object

millerbrother1

I have an Actor controlled by the Player that needs to jump over and land atop objects. The Player has a rectangular collision shape - so does the object. As a result the player can move beyond the edge of the object he is supposedly perched atop without falling. I need to perfect this, any tips would be helpful.

I am using a downward Acceleration on the Player for Gravity instead of the Gravity effect.

I don't see a question here, so I don't know what you're asking for help on.

Sorry, my question is how do I get my character to fall off the edge of an object without having all of its collision shape hanging over. See the image below. My bunny character should technically be falling into the hole - however because of the rectangular collision shape...a single pixel is still colliding with the ground and therefore it doesn't fall.



I've added the rectangle design for illustration purposes. The bunny clearly appears to be over the hole. I would prefer that if the bunny were more than half way over the gap...that he fall in.

you need to create a smaller actor which is what you control, make it invisible and then constrain the actor with the image of the bunny to the samller actors x,y. that way, when the smaller actor falls down the hole, the image will also appear to fall.

:-) Thanks Gazjm. Why didn't I think of that?
