lo folks,
Ive been working on my first reasonable scale project and it is a basic platform game. I have sussed out a good collision system for landing on and hitting the underside of platforms but detecting if the player hits the sides of them is more of a problem. The following code determines if the player is about to hit the left hand side of a platform and assigns it a hit_left value however it only seems to work for about 80% of the platforms in my test map. The remainder i can just pass right through. These platforms are consistent in their insolidity(is there such a word)on every run and are not related to the speed i try to run through them . Sorry for the length of the post but could someone help? im losing my sanity


REM detect contact with left side platform
for platform=1 to plat
cls

if player_height#>platform_y_coord#(platform)-10.0 and player_height#platform_x_coord#(platform)-13.0 and charposx#

argggh code never worked

hmm ok .You can all stop replying in your thousands .Ive got it working but im still not sure how but as long as it works im not arguing , think im going mad though cause im talking to myself here
