Platform game: Jumping on to tiles

[robin.deman]

Hi there,

I have a question, i am busy making an "run&jump" platform game, kinda like Mario Bros/Rayman/etc.

This thing is that i have an problem with my main "player" (actor) with the tiles.
When his head or any other bodypart hits the top of tiles, the actor "pops" up on the top of the tile..
This way it looks choppy and buggy..

I want the actor on collide with the top side of the tile when the tile collides with the players feet/bottom.

Any ideas anybody?

You could make the torso and feet two seperate actors and have the feet parents the upper body. That way, when you put a collision, you could have it as only with the feet actor. Hope that helps!

That aint gonna work for me becouse of the animations..
Perhaps i can do something with an mask or something..

make an filled region, make all teh movements on it and all the physical on it, then put your caracter image and animation on another actor, make it parent to the filled region, then after, only put the change animation on that actor, should work!
