Collisions... what's up with them?

Hi there,
So I am moving along at a good clip. I have built an astroid style game. However, one thing that is urking me are collisions between my PlayerShip and EnemyShip.

I have turned, send and receive both collision and physics for both, with out callback as I have no scripting yet. I set "Groups" for each to collide with, 1 and 2 appropriately. Now when I play the game, they just float right over each other, with out a budge. Could anyone please help me better understand what I need to do in order to have them collide?

    ok so i have the tile map functioning properly, but when I run my player, or hold him against the wall, he still "bounces". Is there anyway to help eliminate this or reduce it that anyone can think of?

    Try changing the collision type from 'bounce' to 'clamp'. There's a dropdown for it in TGB.

    They are both, player, tilemap set to clamp.


    It reminds me of mega man a bit, I believe they were some things that if he ran into them would cause him to shake, but at the same time i remember if I held run down, as he was going into a wall, the run animation would just run glitch free, he just wouldn't go anywhere. So if i could eliminate this the better.
