I just got tgb and tried the mini platformer tutorial. everything is fine except that if you jump into a wall the player will jump the entire heighth of the wall, or climb slowly up it. and apparently sometother are having a similar problem. check out the sticky collision thread in the collision forum.
im not a programmer, more of an artist. ive done some stuff with director using lingo, but im still trying to learn torquesript. and snags like this can be kinda frustrating. ive been staring at this, going through forums, lookin at tutorial, and tearing through the reference guide for about 4 hours. but so far, everything i do doesnt do anything or hinders movement.
from what ive read, apparently you can determine the surface normal on collision, so that tells me you should be able to say that if the collision is with a vertical surface that the player cant run up that surface. and also i have no clue on how to use "oncollison( ...)" thing. i dont really understand it.
ive looked at the other platformer tutorial, but being the non programmer i am its hard for me to determine what parts i need to cobble the two tutorials together, because i dont know what the commands and format are. but right now, my eyes are buring, and i think ill go curl up in a corner and sob uncontrollably. if there is some code out there that is already written and works and is up for public view. please show me. or any help really would be great.
