How do I detect a 'precipice'.

I'm working on a platformer. I'm looking for a way to detect that my player is near the edge of a 'precipice' so I will be able to change the animation.

Use a overlapping collision for the floor with offset:

X: Sprite.X+sprite.width/2

Y: Sprite.Y+sprite.Height/2

That will be down and to the right...Detect the floor. Substitue "+" with "-" on the X axis to detect the other side.

Thanks — This is my condition (I didn't need Sprite.X and Sprite.Y).

Oops,sorry about that. Hope it works good for you
