the collisionmap class is nothing than a color map reader.
that would be for instance the map seen from above.
each kind of element having its own color.
the class, at runtime, once you pass it a coordinate x,y on the map (the x,z of
the camera in ratio), reads the colormap.
if a color is found that you have declared, it fires an event.
so the class doesn't handle the collision
if you set say where your table is a yellow region on that map
basically after you have set the "color" listener, it triggers on the yellow
reading
collisionmap = new CollisionMap(mycolormap, this, 1 , 1); //here 1/1 ratio on x
and y. if your floor is say 2048x2048 and map 1024x1024, pass 2,2
collisionmap.setColorEvent(0xFFFF00, "yellow", onYellow);
private function onYellow(event:Event):void
{
trace("WARNING this is an valuable furniture, look out!!";
}
what you do with the collision reading, is up to you. Bartek, for instance, for
its circuit game, used a similar construction
where the color was different from the main road. --> slowDown();
but when it comes to real collision handling, i would consider take a look at
BSP generation as David suggested,
in fact thats the reason why we've spend the time and effort to make it in the
first place.
as a side note, take care making the colormap, if you use flash lib and the
source is not a vector info that you draw, that
compression, might influence the colors. so no event is triggered. So either
you apply a custom threshold to the class,
or the easy way, test the colors at locations you know the exact color. There
is a getter just for that reason in the class.
