Colliding with Backgrounds

[Jaffob]

In my game, the player will collide with all background objects marked as obstacles. That works fine.

The problem is that when another background of a different type covers an obstacle, the covered area does not affect the player.

Any help would be appreciated.

Naturally, the covered areas replace the collision type. Try using active objects for your ladders and platforms.

I have 2 background objects: Walls and Trees. My frame will be covered in both. Trees will sometimes cover up walls. I don't want to use Actives for trees because doing so would destroy my frame rate (which is already a bit of a problem).

Make sure both objects have a collision type of obstacle set.

My player is not supposed to collide with trees. Only walls, which in some cases are under trees. The walls under the trees seem not to affect the player.

I can't check it right now, but if I remember correctly the collision is detected only if both objects are on the same layer, maybe I'm wrong. If not, just put trees on a layer above the walls. Shouldn't affect the framerate too much.

Upload an example of what you are trying to do.

Thanks, RayMarble! That worked. And thanks Pkeod for your effort.
