knockback on Grid

[Tom Barylov]

Hello folks!

I have a couple of blocks in my room,than can be moved by player on a grid of 64x64.
if I stop them on collision, they stop. Problem is they are not on the grid anymore, since collision happens afer 1px crosses the other.
How do I solve that problem?

The block should collide and stop with others of its own kind or the wall.
I though of putting int a knockback of 1px. that would work for that project. I would like to code it on the block it self.

could someone help me out please?
Thanks!

What do you mean by not on the grid?

Are you trying to ask how to check if an object is about to collide with something?

Sean spaulding covers this in one of his tutorials pretty well.

If I understand you correctly then you want to be able to calculate:

place_meeting(player.x+player.speed,player.y,obj_block)
place_meeting(player.x,player.y+player.speed,obj_block)

Hopefully this is what you were asking and it cleared it up a bit.
