Collision Boxes sinking into each other

Games
#1

Hi there,

I have a character and a box, i can move my character against the box and it pushes it.
I am trying to add an animation to it.

local function pushing(e)  
 box01.Col = "box"  
  
 if(e.other.Col == "box" and e.phase == "began" and RobotPlayer.y \> e.other.y and RobotPlayer.x \< e.other.x) then  
 ...--play animation  
 end  
end  
  
Player:addEvenetListener("collision" pushing);  
-- This basically checks it's colliding with a "box" and whether the characters on the left side pushing right.

My problem is the initial time collides the animation works.
But if i stop moving and start pushing right again it doesn’t.

The reason is because when the character pushing against the box their collision boxes sink together a bit, then when i stop moving the character gets pushed out, but not all the way, so he never reached a e.phase = “ended”.
(if i walk left to cause “ended” phase and then right it works again.)

Is there a way to stop this sinking effect or to push the character out more?
I’ve tried fiddling with density.

I’ve also tried changing the e.phase = “moved” but then it just stops working.

So i’m trying to either trigger the ended phase on their collision or recheck if they’re colliding without began phase and continue animation.

Thanks!

A sample to run would be useful here.

You could also consider pushing the character back ever so slightly on collision, maybe?

thehivetyrant,

Have you solved this yet? I’m not sure if you’re having the same problem I had but try setting the frame rate to 60fps and see if it goes away, this worked for me:

application = { content = { fps = 60, }, } [import]uid: 56623 topic_id: 19760 reply_id: 83053[/import]
