Objects overlapping? [SOLVED]

[Marco Savarese]

Hi guys, I'm new to the GML, and I'd need some help… I've created a player object and some rocks. they both have collision masks and I fixed the depths of both to -y, to prevent any eventual overlapping issues. However, if I want the player to hide a little behind a rock, he won't actually get behind, he'll get over it. I tried by switching some values or just not adjust the depths of one element or the other, but it just won't work.

It could be down to the sprite origin being set in the wrong place. Try setting as bottom-middle for both.

maybe set the collision mask to a small square at the lower end of the player.. this would make the collision with basically his feet... and with the depth =-y should make him hide behind the rock once he gets to teh north side of it...

Thank you so much, it worked!
