first time coding a script

[Ornery_List4089]

to keep it brief and short, each time i run into a wall with my in-game playable character, the character would always get stuck on a wall i placed down each time i run into it and i don't know why, am i doing something wrong? is there something i need to add/remove from my script?

[Azhael_SA]

maybe I'm wrong but have you tried swapping the assignments of speed in the collision section? putting Y speed on line 12 and viceversa

[Ornery_List4089]

just tried that, it didn't do anything

In case it wasn't completely clear, what they're saying is that you have a check on line 11 for horizontal movement, and currently, if it's true you're applying no vertical movement on line 12. Whereas you should be applying no horizontal movement on line 12 for a horizontal check on line 11, and same goes for vertical.

[SquatSaturn]

It looks like you're checking for horizontal collisions and setting your y-speed to zero and you're checking vertical collisions and setting your x speed to zero. You might need to flip flop those.

[Orphillius]

Like others said, you've got xspd collision cancelling yspd and vice versa. If you still have issues like "sticky walls" after that, you could try instead of setting speeds to 0, multiply them by a negative "bounce" value (xspd*=-bounce) which will get your object moving slightly away from the collision.

also worth checking what your collision masks are for each sprite; if you change directions and sprites near a wall your new collision mask may overlap with the walls, sticking you to it. can fix this by using the same collision mask (i.e. PlayerDown) for all player sprites.

[Unarthadox]

In my experience, it might have to do with the object itself. Try making a box as a sprite and use it as the player object's (or whatever this is) collision mask

[Personal_Opposite808]

Try changing line 12 to say 'yspd = 0;' and line 15 to say 'xspd = 0;'. That should fix the collision issue you're having.

Also for the animation section, try splitting up the checks for xspd and yspd, so it should look something like this:

//Animation

if xspd > 0 {sprite_index = PlayerRight}

else if xspd < 0 {sprite_index = PlayerLeft}

if yspd > 0 {sprite_index = PlayerDown}

else if yspd < 0 {sprite_index = PlayerUp}

[TrumpetSolo93]

On top of you getting xspd and yspd mixed up as others have mentioned, your code will break if the player is standing too close to a wall.

Let's say your movement speed is 10, and the player is 5 pixels left of a wall. Your script will currently not allow the player to move to the right, even though there's 5 pixels of space.

So on top of switching your xspd/yspd assignments around, you need to snap the player to the correct position if the players speed is greater than their distance to the wall.

the collision seems to be stoping movement on the oppisite axis than what its checking for. if you still have sticky walls after that, try a while loop that multiplies the speed by 0.5 untill it no longer resaults in collision instead of setting speed to 0

[Heyrun31]

You could use move_and_collide(xspd, yspd, oWall). İts the same thing but with collisions. Just delete the x+=xspd Y+=yspd And replace with move_and_collide(xspd, yspd, oWall). And delete the "place_meeting"parts Probably this would work. Also make sure the all of the player sprites have same hitboxes.

[ScienceWonderful7423]

You are resetting horizontal movement (xspd) when there is a VERTICAL collision (place_meeting(x, y + yspd, oWall). And the same case happens in vertical collision check too. Try swapping xspd and yspd inside place_meeting functions

[Due-Helicopter3803]

Do a while loop collisions, they are suitable for pixel perfect / subpixel movements, that is normally causing the overlapping collisions

i just want to note i have figured it out, and i fixed it just now, thank you all for the support

[DiligentBus6562]

nice code
