Project: Paper2D

Hey Micheal,

I’ve been messing around with 4.8.0 and I have to say that I’m hugely impressed with how quick and painless it is to setup sprites, flipbooks, tilemaps and like with Paper2D very nicely done.

I’ve been having a tiny issue with getting tilemap collision to work as intended, whenever a paper character (with character capsule collider) collides with generated tile collision, my paper character (BP_LegendCharacter, which is a child of BP_WorldCharacter which extends PaperCharacter) continually gets pushed back, as if it had acquired some fixed velocity along collision normal(s) upon collision. I’m not entirely sure what could be causing or what a potential solution might be – if I make character kinematic, physics won’t work at all – but at point added velocity (for lack of a better description) I was trying to get a gif or something of behavior so it’d be easier to see but I haven’t had any luck. If I can manage to get one I’ll update post, and if you want a closer look at how I have things setup just let me know and I’ll post images or answer any questions. Do you have any idea what could be causing or any potential solution?

Also at ECGC you mentioned that you were using Box2D for 2D physics. Is what is used for 2D setting on tilemap ( one marked experimental) and to what extent is 2D physics working? How would I set up to try 2D?

Thanks again,

Austin R. Snider

RE: Collision issue, I haven’t seen an issue like that, have you created an AnswerHub thread with more information?

Yeah, setting collision domain to 2D on any Paper2D asset type will use Box2D instead of PhysX, but note: is truly experimental, it does not get any testing from QA, it is only compiled for Windows, and is unlikely to be developed further for foreseeable future. I’d recommend instead using 3D domain plus planar constraints options for basically any game (you can either enable it on a per-component basis or globally for your entire project in Project Settings … Physics).

Cheers,
