2 players collision

hi!
When i play the following stage with 2 players at the same time, my sprites are too big and overlapped each other.
i know it's "normal" for a beat em up, but in this case, it's very uncomfortable.




I saw this topic too as the beginning of an answer but nothing specific http://www.chronocrash.com/forum/index.php?topic=3018.msg41202#msg41202

What's the best way to prevent this overlapping? any script out there? thank you in advance  ;)

There is a shunting feature coming soon that will allow you to designate bboxes for hit detection, shunting, or both (and you'll also have access to the already existing multiple bboxes so you can set up different ones for different purposes.). Until that's available though, you can do this already with script, and it's not too difficult. I don't have time at the moment to write it for you, but look at Bloodbane's antiwall. You can adapt it to shunt entities away from each other based on whatever criteria you feel best with.

The sprite overlapping issue i see on the images is caused because of wrong offsets positioning on the sprite. So keep the players on some distance from each other with script, may will still not solve this if you will keep having wrong placed offset on the sprites.
And to be more clear, the Y offset should be on the very bottom of the bicycle tyres and not someware on the midle of the sprite like you probably have it right now.

thank you magggas,

maybe is an optical illusion, but here's my offset right now, believe it was good like that, is it wrong?

thank you damon,

i'm going to search the bloodbane's antiwall. but if i understand, i must create wall on the entity and put a antiwall script to detect the x,y from the wall?

No, you don't create a wall. Just adapting the concept to push entities away from each other using a bit of math work.

From this image i can't say for sure. I mean, i now know the offset is 101 but what is the actual sprite size?

Hmm.. The offset must be okay then. The last thing i could think to explain your problem is if your caracters are having sone "setlayer" setup. If not, then what we see on your first screenshot this is an engine bug!
I mean, this overlapping should not happen no matter how big the sprites are.

the 2 characters have the same setlayer (5). thank you for pointing this by the way.

I try for now to understand and find the antiwall script to avoid the 2 players overlapping each other.  :)

OH! I totally misunderstood the question... yeah, this has nothing to do with the kind of overlap I am thinking of. You have a layering issue. Please send us your model text files.

Before of anything else you should remove the Setlayer command from your characters, because it's not meant for such use and it will cause you more weird overlappings with other entities on the level as well, depending of the players Z position on it.

i believe you understood perfecly my question DC...but apparently, there is another problem :D
Sorry my english is not very good, maybe there was a misunderstanding.
my real question were:" how to avoid the 2 players passing through each other in this stage?"
(kind of collision box).

Nevermind, here's my models.txt

@edit magggas: yes i removed the setlayer, it was a copy paste from another entity.

I second that. Don't use setlayer on those characters. They aren't meant to be used that way, only in specific  cases.
