My spike code:

where you add tile add this:

case 1 :
over = “ground”;
x_pos = 40
y_pos = 40
break;

It’s exaple, change x and y of player by detecting em using variables. That’s how I also do falling:

if(y_pos >140 ){
y_pos = 40
x_pos = 40
}

It’s easy.

One of the best tutorials here! I have looked ~75% of your flash tutorials and I like the most of ‘em’. I’m making a little game for this. I made now exit and falling function (when you fall out from level). And I know i can make enemies and something like pipes so you only hit them from left and right so you can go downwards trough them. But yea, ladders have some bugs.

maybe, when going up ladders, it would be a good idea that you could only stay suspended on a ladder for a certain amount of time, or you fall down…?
Good tutorial :)

Another glitch If you jump and the top of your character hits a grey tile while still touching a ladder you float in midair until you aren’t touching ladder anymore. By the way this engine is awsome but for some reason if I make a square who is center aligned the hittests are way off. Do I need to make it to the exact dimensions of the one you have?

One glitch is that you can float slowly downwards if you hold down and the last tile you touched is a ladder tile.
