making a custom engine for a platform, the probs im having is with collision
basicly what im doing is..
i have created a collision object that follows the character. one in front, one behind. when the overlap a bg moves the character x-1
it works but the character and screen bounces around alot. looks kak.
anyone know how to fix this or a better way of doing things.
thx

I think you will have to explain it a bit better. What do you mean by x-1? I figure this is the right detector you're talking about and it moves the x position of the charater back one, but unless your character is moving at max speeds of 1 pixel this method wouldn't work anyway.
There are better ways of doing things, ways in which require no detectors at all, but those can get complicated.

You can have two counters for the X and y pos.
Then you might say something like this...
Always----set X pos. to X pos. of player+ Value of X counter
Try it out...
Upon presssing rigt arrow----add 1 to X counter
If you put a right detector on him you could say something like this...
Right detector colides with background set X counter to 0
Thats just the very basics...
To make some simple gravity do this
Always----Set Y pos. to Y pos. of player+ Y counter/5
Run this event once----- Set Y pos. to Y pos. of player+ Y counter*5
Try it out
Upon pressing enter-----Set Y counter to -30(The Y axis is inversed in TGF)
I'm feeling a bit wella

hishnak, wouldn't your example end up permanently stopping horizontal movement upon colliding with an obstacle?
Antworx, if you don't want it to jump around, just restrict the movement when the detectors overlap instead of repositioning the object. i.e:
Player 1 is moving right
+ right detector is not overlapping obstacle: set x to x + 1

Right detector is overlaping Obstacle AND upon NOT pressing left arrow set x to 0...Simple fix man. I was just giving the general idea.

cool, but im still having trouble, basicly all your ideas sound good, i have the movement down already, (using the PMO object) and none of them worked, any other ideas?
