No worries, I realised putting my query on the end of this topic might mean it would be buried.. but I thought it might end up being useful to others.

Thanks for clarifying. I think that's where I was getting confused. As you said, the only thing your plugin is concerned with is the collidable property exported from Tiled. Everything else I was trying to do with other types of collisions is outside of that and really is what Bump is concerned with. I've managed to handle both cases a bit cleaner in the following code:

Code: Select all

-- override playerFilter function
local playerFilter = function(item, other)
	
local kind

	-- if the object of the collision has a properties table 
	-- (ie. it's been exported from Tiled with the collidable custom property)
	if other.properties ~= nil then
		kind = other.properties -- store a reference to the properties table to use with the filter
	else
		kind = other.name -- else store a reference to the object's name since it has no properties table 
					    -- (useful as we can set the 'name' manually or grab it from the object exported by Tiled)
	end
	
	if kind.collidable then -- if object.properties table has the collidable element
		return 'slide'
	elseif kind == 'spring' then -- if object.name is spring
		return 'bounce'
	elseif kind == 'hotspot' then -- if object.name is hotspot
		return 'cross'
	end
end -- end of playerFilter function

-- actually move the player, obeying collisons
player.x, player.y, cols, len = world:move(player, player.x, player.y, playerFilter)
I was following this. Its at page 62 and 63. After bump:init the property disappears or unimportant anymore? Im confused (Sorry)

I'll be honest, I don't really know much about bump, I didn't write the bump plugin it was sent via a PR. Perhaps you could pm the author of bump and see if they can help?

Re: Simple Tiled Implementation - STI v0.18.2.1

How would I know if the STI program is actually creating box 2d objects? i seem to be having a problem detecting collisions using your loader. perhaps the implementation is off or something, or i did something wrong in tiled, but i'm considering writing my own collision detections. at first I thought it was a scope issue but now i'm not so sure. i used the example code of creating a sprite layer for my character and enemy to exist in, and i've attempted to make them box2d objects, and i got it to where I had no compile errors, but i don't see them bounce off eachother like i would expect in my box2d working example. could you help me out?

Are you enabling the box2d plugin and initializing it?

(Sorry for interrupting) I just figured it out. I made an object layer and individual putted a custom property and that seem to have solved it.

i think so, i followed the implementation from the github page for the most part.

Code: Select all

--GAME STATES

game = {}
local win = {}
local lose = {}

	tx, ty = 0, 0

	-- Prepare physics world
	love.physics.setMeter(40)

    Gamestate.registerEvents()
    Gamestate.switch(menu)
	map:addCustomLayer("Sprite Layer", 2)
	-- Add data to Custom Layer

In Tiled, are you creating layers or objects with a property called "collidable" and setting the value to a boolean true?

i did. but i also set the property sensor as true as well. that could be the issue. i'll re-export the map.
