BoxCollider doesn't block when EntityBases overlap

Charlie_Hdz

Hiya,

I'm learning V-Play and I would like to create a game pretty similar than BattleCity.

Today I'm in the part of creating Blocking Tiles.

Those blocking tiles should stop the player when it touches them.

I did a quick example where I just create two entities, with PhysicsWorld, and simulate the fall of one box, where the ground was able to stop its movement.

This works perfectly:

BoxCollider {

anchors.fill: parent

bodyType: Body.Static // the body shouldn't move

}

I thought that Body.Static is the only thing that you need to set to make an object "solid".

When I pass this logic to my current project, The player keeps overlapping the tile. That's so annoying...

I did some investigation, but I couldn't find a way to solve it, the documentation of BoxCollider doesn't seem obvious and I don't think that PhysicsWorld is necessary to this endeavor.

Here is the code for your reference:

//Main.qml

import VPlay 2.0
import QtQuick 2.0
GameWindow{
    id:gameWindow
    Rectangle{
        id: background
        anchors.fill: parent
    }

    onSplashScreenFinished:{
        mov.running=true
        world.running=true
    }
    EntityManager{
        id:mng
        entityContainer: scene
    }
    Scene{
        id: scene

        Missile {
            id: wrapBullet
        }

        PlayerTank {
        }

        EntityBase{
            entityType: "wall"
            width: 20; height:20
            x:parent.width/2; y:parent.height/2
            Rectangle{
                id:rectangleWall
                anchors.fill: parent
                color: "yellow"
            }

            BoxCollider{
                id: wallCollider
                categories: Box.Category2
                collidesWith: Box.Category1
                anchors.fill: parent
                bodyType: Body.Static
            }
        }
    }
}

//Firing Square

import VPlay 2.0
import QtQuick 2.0
EntityBase{
    Rectangle{
        id:rect
        width: 32; height:32;
        color: "blue"
        focus: true
        
        property string direction: "None"
        property EntityManager manager: EntityManager{}

        Keys.onPressed: {
            if(event.key  === Qt.Key_Up){
                console.log("Going Up")
                y=y-5
                rect.direction="Up"
            }
            else if(event.key === Qt.Key_Down){
                console.log("Going Down")
                y=y+5
                rect.direction="Down"
            }
            else if(event.key === Qt.Key_Left)
            {
                console.log("Going Left")
                x=x-5
                rect.direction="Left"
            }
            else if(event.key === Qt.Key_Right){
                console.log("Going Right")
                x=x+5
                rect.direction="Right"
            }
            else if(event.key === Qt.Key_Space){
                console.log("Firing")
                var pointFiring= mapToItem()

                //Create Entity
                var bulletPoint=mapToItem(parent,rect.x,rect.y)
                //Fire entity
            }
        }
    }
}

// I don't attach Missile because it's not relevant for this issue.

So the question... How to make a object "solid" following the BoxCollider logic?
