Collision detection in a movement script.
 

Best way to handle it? I tried checking for onwall in a for loop, no good.

I think onwall(x,y) would be the best way, it did not work with you because you probably didn't apply it correctly.

Edit: Finally a proper thread name ;)

You need to use a better for loop, and probably more.

By the way, wich kind of movement script are you working, move command or x/y settings?

x,y.

I didn't know you could do it with move command.

Is your movement script for the player or for an npc?

For player you would use arrays with points to check around the player with a nifty for loop and alot more its realy complicated. Falados(Falcor) made one of the best that I had seen in a while.

If your using it on a npc use move command, or just use a copy of one built for a player just make it more applicalbe for the npc in question.
???

im doing it for a player o.o

Uh? His title is fine.

I know and that's what i mean.

Misread it as 'find a proper' x_X sorry

arrays? don't know if that's really necessary, unless you're using something other than the normal vecx/vecy for directions...

I should probably write some tutorial for onwall detection, since i'm so fond of my little wall check algorithms

Its more convienent if you have a realy advanced onwall. Just checking 4 points for the players direction isnt enough.

what i do is i check every .1 coord for my script. Works nicely. Currently im dealing with the troubles of making character sit, sleep and swim. Along with push, (probably gonna use a for loop for that too :))
