How to make a better wall

Help
#1

Hello, is there a way to make better walls, like if you touch a wall and you click up you can’t move with some of the examples I saw so, is there a way to make a wall that you can still move in directions that there is no wall

Idk maybe we can find out @Jordy

I’ve done something like this before which uses the overlap piece of the hit test you can make a fairly simple but good wall system

In default of player clip

this.walls = [];

In update of player clip

for (let i = 0; i < this.walls.length; i++) {
    let hitInfo = this.hits(this.walls[i], {overlap:true});
    
    if (hitInfo) {
        this.x = this.x + hitInfo.overlapX;
        this.y = this.y + hitInfo.overlapY;
    }
}

In the walls’ default script

CharacterClipName.walls[CharacterClipName.walls.length] = this;

Of course replace CharacterClipName with the name of your player clip

It basically gets the overlap of your player on every wall and moves you so that you aren’t in the any walls, and this works with multiple walls but only rectangles (circles are also easy but you need to specify to use a circle)

Hope this helps

i know one, but idk if it’s effecive or not. ima sure it isnt.

i’m giving you a logic, because i’m bad at js, to be honest.

in the controls, we say if key pressed, then, we add a nested if.
inside the nested if, we say the hit with the wall code.
then, we type the oposite direction of the movement when the key pressed.
then, you movement of where should it go when the key pressed

Logic: our speed, eg: 10.
when we hit a wall, we need to reverse it, making it like a boulder eg, -10

Actually, tis glitches, but, it can be fixed. i took this knowledge in scratch, so that counts.

This can probably work…

if (!this.hits(wallUp)) { if(key==="up") { this.y-=5}

I haven’t tested it but it should work…
