How do I

Hi everyone,

I want to make a game where you see from above (lilke in ancient Zelda) but not completly. The same as in hyper light drifter. And I have an issue.

Imagine I have a house. It has a floor and a roof. I'd lije to be able to go trhough the house when the y position of the player is above the base but not above the roof. A draw will certainly be clearer.

.. _____ < - I can go normally

/_____/|

|_____|| <- I can go and i pass behind the house

|_____||

|_____|/ <- I can't go through the house

< - I can go normally and I passe above the house

I have some ideas with a LOT of tests and while loops, but I'm sure wthere is a better way to do. Any ideas ?

Something like this?

Something exactly like that.

A friend of mine told me I could split the house in two objets, one with the solid behavior, the base, and one without the solid behavior and on a different layer, the roof, which would be on the top layer when I go through. It's a good idea, I will try it out.

Yea, I tried to get him to share his algorithm with me, but he was being modest...
