My tilemap is not keeping its collision

Tchey

Hello,

I have a land.xscn with 5 nodes like this, all with unique name.

StaticBody2D --Sprite --CollisionShape2D (RectangleShape2D the size of the grid, 32x32)

They are simple 32x32 pixel, nothing fancy.

Then i go to Scene/Convert to... TileSet and save it as land.xml

I go to my garden.xscn and add a TileMap to my Node2D, set land.xml, then i place a few elements, save, check debug to show collision, and see that there is not.

My player has a CollisionShape2D too (a circle in the 32x32 size of the player) and it works well to enter an Area2D to go from garden to house for example, and i can see it in debug mode, so i assume its collision is fine.

What did i miss ?

Thanks for reading

How is your player constructed? Is it a RigidBody2D type?

Tchey

My player is :

Player (a KinematicBody2D) -- Sprite -- AnimationPlayer (a basic loop always active in 4 frames) -- Light2D -- CollisionShape2D (circle inside the grid size)

But i think the problem is from the tileset, as the debug mode doesn't show the collision for the "land", only the player

Try creating your tiles like this;

Sprite - - StaticBody2D - - - - Collision2D

I tried to use a StaticBody as the parent as per your example and couldn't even get the tiles to load. This is the method demonstrated in the docs - http://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/tutorials/2d/using_tilemaps.html

Sprite - - StaticBody2D - - - - Collision2D

is working indeed. Counter intuitive i think.

Thank you !

Now i need to find out why my player is stuck on collision (cannot move at all)...

Have you set the RigidBody2D mode of the player to 'Character'? in the Godot inspector?

Tchey

I can't get what you mean. I checked 10 times the options in the Inspector for all the parts of my player, and nothing is like that. I missed something ?

Player (a KinematicBody2D) -- Sprite -- AnimationPlayer (a basic loop always active in 4 frames) -- Light2D -- CollisionShape2D (circle inside the grid size)

PaulMurray

Never mind, I thought your player was a RigidBody2D, not Kinematic, hence why you won't see those options. Are you positioning your player above the tilesmap X position, there's no chance the collision boxes are overlapping when the game runs?

Tchey

Ah i see, thanks anyway.

I got a solution there : http://godotdevelopers.org/forum/discussion/17697/from-the-doc-bool-test-move-vector2-rel-vec-how-to-use-it
