Player get stuck in walls, please help. (Solved)

[Carlos182]

Hi.
I did this movement system with Fast Loops and float points (Thanks to N64Mario). But now I have this problem, my player get stuck in walls. I tried like 10 times to fix this but failed. Please help.

This is my code:

Always
- (Player): Set Pos X to Pos X("Player") + Speed X("Player)
- (Player): Set X position to Pos X("Player")

Start of Frame
- (Player): Set Pos X to X("Player")

Repeat while (Joystick) Moved left
+ NO Repeat while (Joystick) Pressed fire 4
- (Player): Set Speed X to -0.7

Repeat while (Joystick) Moved right
+ NO Repeat while (Joystick) Pressed fire 4
- (Player): Set Speed X to 0.7

NO Repeat while (Joystick) Moved right
+NO Repeat while (Joystick) Moved left
- (Player): Set Speed X to 0

Speed X ("Player") <> 0
- Start Loop "Moviendo" 1 times

On Loop "Moviendo"
+ Speed X ("Player") > 0
+ NO (Player) is overlapping a backdrop
- (Player): Set Pos X to Pos X("Player") + 1

On Loop "Moviendo"
+ Speed X ("Player") > 0
+ (Player) is overlapping a backdrop
- Stop Loop "Movimiento"
- (Player): Set X position to X("Player")-2
- (Player): Set Speed X to 0

On Loop "Moviendo"
+ Speed X ("Player") < 0
+ NO (Player) is overlapping a backdrop
- (Player): Set Pos X to Pos X("Player") - 1

On Loop "Moviendo"
+ Speed X ("Player") < 0
+ (Player) is overlapping a backdrop
- Stop Loop "Movimiento"
- (Player): Set X position to X("Player")+2
- (Player): Set Speed X to 0


The problem I think it could be is that when the player is overlapping a backdrop by the right side, then stops, the player is still overlapping a backdrop, and then when trying to press left, the player won't move because it's overlapping the backdrop. But I don't know how to fix that. I'm out of ideas, please help.


Thank you so much.

PS. Is there a way to copy the code like "copy-paste" instead of write it all by looking at the Event List Editor window? He he he

EDIT: I've solved this, the solution I did was to put 2 vertical detectors, one in the right side and the other in the left side. So when any of them is overlapping a backdrop and the player press Right or Left, the player can move 1.5 pixels so he's not stucked at all =D

Thanks for sharing your solution. What I tend to do is organize the loops so that I know whether the player is moving left or right on each one, so that if the player is suddenly overlapping a backdrop, it can be moved back and the loop stopped immediately.
