TiledMap Editor and collisions

[Emeric]

Hi there!
I was wondering if someone here had a tip for creating other shapes than rectangles in tiledmap editor? Circles, diagonales...

I'm very happy with creating maps in tiledmap and using these maps in cocos2D, but I'm feel a bit limitated by the square collisions in Tiledmap. Any help welcome !
Thanks!

i think that can't be done in standard way. But should not be a problem.

here a tutorial (for who want some help on it)

Tahnk you Dany, that's a great link.

However I have no problem with what's explained in the tutorial. My problem is not for managing collisions, but for collisions that are not rectangles: how to place a tile with a diagonal collision, for instance? Or even more : a curve.

I saw this guy who made a kind of parser that can take a svg file and parse it to use the vector shapes as collisions :

But I don't know yet if I can use this and TiledMap at the same time, plus it's quite expensive. I'd buy it if I was sure it'd help me but I was wondering how other games do, I can't find anything about it.

Hi there,

I have a problem in drawing an animated line that follows a moving object.
I need a dashed/dotted line that follows a moving ball in an application.
if anyone having idea then please help me.
That would be very appreciable.
