FrontRoomGames

so ive created a level 1 maze and i have my actor but for somereason it collides with the wall way before my actor even touches it, why is this?

my actor wont even go thru the maze cause it hits on both sides...

There's not much info here to give an answer that might help you. Post a screen shot or something and some debug info saying which actor is getting hit.

so that maze is one image correct and your telling it to collide with the player? because that wont work. The collision will take place with the whole border of the image. Like it was said in the other thread, you need to use actors to make walls for the maze and then collide with them, not the image

the maze is all sperate wall parts.. i did it the right way..

are u using a image for the wall as well or just a actor with no image

FrontRoomGames

the wall is just the box no picture

then the problems most likely in your mouse player actor. Is the image for it cropped right to the edge becuase the edge around the image will collide as well, it also might help to change the collision shape to a circle

alright i didnt think about that i went into photoshop and trimmed it down and now it works good, just 1 problem when i let off the arrow key it just wants to like spin in one spot then when i get a key to make it move it stops and acts normal till i let off. any sugestions?

Put some angular drag on the actor by opening up the actor, on the left under physics section

angular drag of 200 still dont work..
