Welcome back, At the end of the last tutorial i wondered what would happen if we had a platform that you could jump underneath from.
As you can see, i have made the map a lot more complicated, and the simulation runs quite accurately until you go under the overhang on the left side. Where you can jump through the bottom of that platform. Lets change that.
We need to add a hit detection for when the top of the character hits the bottom of the land.
Ok, now you can’t jump up through platform bottoms, but if you jump sideways into the hovering platform, you float down.
I will think on this matter for the next step in the tutorial.

This is really cool. I’m looking forward to seeing this go further with collectibles and levels.
Thank you!

why not give the character a hitbox, rather than make arts of him/it collision detecting?

What do you mean william? i’m sorry, i don’t understand what you’re saying.

Looking forward to more.

Coolio! I looked at your other site and commented. Cool new site. Im looking forward to the ape tutorial remember!

So uhh. Where’s the code example of the collision detection on the bottom? I cant figure it out myself. Pls help man. Your tutorials are great btw.

It will be out shortly, i am currently working on some server side script which is taking up a lot of my free time. I will get this done soon.

Great, thanks a lot bud!

Actually, I have a somewhat ghetto-rigged way of handling this… Hoping it’s something like what you’re doing:
if (bg.hitTestPoint(block.nextx, block.nexty – (block.height / 2), true)) {
velocity = Math.abs(velocity);
}
bg is my background clip with ground and obstacles in it.

i think that is virtually how my code went, but i have 2 hittests, one for each corner of the box. when a hit is detected i just set the velocity to 0. I have lost the original files, so i will have to rebuild it.

hey this is a great tutorial. So how can I make the box jump faster?

just change the”velocity = -5″ to a lower number.
if (attemptJump==true) {
char.y–;
velocity =-10;
}

This is THE TUTORIAL!
Over the internet there are only tutorials for this kind of game in AS2.0
And u explain really good!
Where is the code of the step #5 and the explanation? I cant find?
And have u already released the correction for not lifting within the walls ?
I am looking forward to that!
CONGRATS!!!

I never got round to putting the code up on the site because of the floating glitch. I am currently busy with other projects but i will fix the code as soon as i can!
Check out some of the other tutorials while your waiting

Can some one give me a link to part 1 I can not seem to find it. Thanks

nevermind I found it

hi there, I was wondering of you had managed to fix the going through platform bottoms bug? I have created some floating platforms and my guy goes through the bottom of them.
Thanks!
