I'm having trouble with my game that is based off the XNA Platformer starter kit. My game uses smaller tiles (16x16) then the original (32x40) which I'm thinking may be having an effect on collision (Being it needs to be more precise).
Standing on the edge of a tile and jumping causes the player to move off the the tile when he lands. And 80% of the time, when the player lands, he goes flying though SOLID tiles in a diagonal fashion. This is very annoying as it is almost impossible to test other features, when spawning and jumping will result in the player landing in another part of the level or falling off the edge completely.
The code is as follows:
/// <summary>
/// Updates the player's velocity and position based on input, gravity, etc.
/// </summary>
public void ApplyPhysics(GameTime gameTime)
{
float elapsed = (float)gameTime.ElapsedGameTime.TotalSeconds;
Vector2 previousPosition = Position;
// Base velocity is a combination of horizontal movement control and
// acceleration downward due to gravity.
velocity.X += movement * MoveAcceleration * elapsed;
velocity.Y = MathHelper.Clamp(velocity.Y + GravityAcceleration * elapsed, -MaxFallSpeed, MaxFallSpeed);
velocity.Y = DoJump(velocity.Y, gameTime);
// Apply pseudo-drag horizontally.
if (IsOnGround)
velocity.X *= GroundDragFactor;
else
velocity.X *= AirDragFactor;
// Prevent the player from running faster than his top speed.
velocity.X = MathHelper.Clamp(velocity.X, -MaxMoveSpeed, MaxMoveSpeed);
// Apply velocity.
Position += velocity * elapsed;
Position = new Vector2((float)Math.Round(Position.X), (float)Math.Round(Position.Y));
// If the player is now colliding with the level, separate them.
HandleCollisions();
// If the collision stopped us from moving, reset the velocity to zero.
if (Position.X == previousPosition.X)
velocity.X = 0;
if (Position.Y == previousPosition.Y)
velocity.Y = 0;
}
/// <summary>
/// Detects and resolves all collisions between the player and his neighboring
/// tiles. When a collision is detected, the player is pushed away along one
/// axis to prevent overlapping. There is some special logic for the Y axis to
/// handle platforms which behave differently depending on direction of movement.
/// </summary>
private void HandleCollisions()
{
// Get the player's bounding rectangle and find neighboring tiles.
Rectangle bounds = BoundingRectangle;
int leftTile = (int)Math.Floor((float)bounds.Left / Tile.Width);
int rightTile = (int)Math.Ceiling(((float)bounds.Right / Tile.Width)) - 1;
int topTile = (int)Math.Floor((float)bounds.Top / Tile.Height);
int bottomTile = (int)Math.Ceiling(((float)bounds.Bottom / Tile.Height)) - 1;
// Reset flag to search for ground collision.
isOnGround = false;
// For each potentially colliding tile,
for (int y = topTile; y <= bottomTile; ++y)
{
for (int x = leftTile; x <= rightTile; ++x)
{
// If this tile is collidable,
ItemCollision collision = Level.GetCollision(x, y);
if (collision != ItemCollision.Passable)
{
// Determine collision depth (with direction) and magnitude.
Rectangle tileBounds = Level.GetBounds(x, y);
Vector2 depth = RectangleExtensions.GetIntersectionDepth(bounds, tileBounds);
if (depth != Vector2.Zero)
{
float absDepthX = Math.Abs(depth.X);
float absDepthY = Math.Abs(depth.Y);
// Resolve the collision along the shallow axis.
if (absDepthY < absDepthX || collision == ItemCollision.Platform)
{
// If we crossed the top of a tile, we are on the ground.
if (previousBottom <= tileBounds.Top)
isOnGround = true;
// Ignore platforms, unless we are on the ground.
if (collision == ItemCollision.Impassable || IsOnGround)
{
// Resolve the collision along the Y axis.
Position = new Vector2(Position.X, Position.Y + depth.Y);
// Perform further collisions with the new bounds.
bounds = BoundingRectangle;
}
}
else if (collision == ItemCollision.Impassable) // Ignore platforms.
{
// Resolve the collision along the X axis.
Position = new Vector2(Position.X + depth.X, Position.Y);
// Perform further collisions with the new bounds.
bounds = BoundingRectangle;
}
}
}
}
}
// Save the new bounds bottom.
previousBottom = bounds.Bottom;
}
It also tends to jitter a little bit sometimes, I'm solved some of this with some fixes I found here on stackexchange, But Ive only seen one other case of the flying though blocks problem. This question seems to have a similar problem in the video, but mine is more crazy.
Again this is a very annoying bug! Any help would be greatly appreciated!
