Tiled: using polygon from object layer to create transparent collision object

[tchex]

Hello and thank you for your great work. It is really nice and powerful to work with bonfire.
Is it possible to create a polygon in Tiled (object layer) and to define it as a collision object with bonfire ?
For example, on a beach, create a polygone around the sea, to force player to stay on the beach.
Thanks !

Hi @tchex !
Thanks so much!
Create an object with collision in Tiled is not possible in the moment. You can add collision by Tiled in your tiles in your tileset. Currently, when I want to make a collision of this type, I place a collision on a transparent tile and add it to the options where I want it to have a collision.

This is a good idea. I will think a way of the implements this feature.

Hi @RafaelBarbosatec,
Thank you, I will use the transparent tiles.
I look forward to seeing your implementation as it will allow to create barriers, paths.. very easily and activate / unactivate these objects programatically. (forbidden area until quest finished..)

Hi @tchex !
This features is available in version 1.12.2.
Only set in type object to collision in your ObjectLayer of the Tiled.
The Bonfire will add a CollisionGameComponent.

Hi @RafaelBarbosatec!
That's great! Not tested yet, but thanks for your work. I guess Bonfire will have more and more success as Flame is now part of flutter official.

Hi @RafaelBarbosatec,
Thanks again: I tried and it works!
But not perfectly. Object is not placed at the right place. And sometimes disappears.. It seems to happen when a corner of the shape is out of the screen but not the object. (my object is way larger than the screen). I will try to do more tests to give you some better feedback.

Right, I'll test more this case to find this problem.
Thanks for reporting. 😊
