Collision doesn't work in isometric view

Question

I have problems with collision detection in my isometric game - the collision is on a different spot then the actual object is, its like the SDL_Rect is somewhere else then the object itself which is impossible. I checked the values with the debugger it seems there is everything right.

My player has Isometric movement. This is the calculation for the screenworld to isometric

Vector2 Vector2::PosToIso()
{
    return Vector2(x - y, (y + x) / 2);
}

When the player doesnt have the isometric movement the collision works fine. I tried to calculate the the objec's x and y pos to iso and i tried with the normal 2D screen values same result.

Collision code:

    bool checkCollision( SDL_Rect a, SDL_Rect b )
{
    int leftA, leftB;
    int rightA, rightB;
    int topA, topB;
    int bottomA, bottomB;

    leftA = a.x;
    rightA = a.x + a.w;
    topA = a.y;
    bottomA = a.y + a.h;

    leftB = b.x;
    rightB = b.x + b.w;
    topB = b.y;
    bottomB = b.y + b.h;

  if( bottomA < topB )
    {
        return false;
    }

    if( topA > bottomB )
    {
        return false;
    }

    if( rightA < leftB )
    {
        return false;
    }

    if( leftA > rightB )
    {
        return false;
    }
    return true;
}

First of even you have isometric movement or place your objects in isometric space the Objects stay still in normal "topdown" 2D so the collision happens the same way as you would have a top down game (if your work in 2D space only) - the shape of SDL_Rect doesn´t change. You didn`t provide the code where you keep track of your collision Rect so its hard to help you. You can try to use SDL_RenderDrawRect to draw your collisionbox around your player and so on and see how the rects behave when you move your player. Also you can use SDL_HasIntersection to check if there is a collision between 2 rects instead of your check collision function you have.
