physics: detecting collissions in one side of a block

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion
#1

I’m making a platformer game using physics.
I need to detect a certain type of collision when the character touches a side or another of a specific static body.
For example, the top of a block would be “ground”, the sides would be “walls” and the bottom would be “ceiling” or similar.
Any idea guys? Thanks in advance! [import]uid: 105206 topic_id: 24437 reply_id: 324437[/import]

You could make a complex body:

then check the event.selfElement upon collision. [import]uid: 21331 topic_id: 24437 reply_id: 98876[/import]
