I've made my own side scrolling code but it works the wrong way.I looked at kunarks demo which has the one thing I want but is to complicated to stuff into mine.I want so you can't go through a mob.I looked at grim kids demo and that one is closer to mine.Could someone looks at his and see if you could add what I want into his? I don't really want to give my code away.

Thanks in advance.

A mobs density is set to 1 as default, so there are two reasons your mobs will go through each other:
  • You are setting mob.loc directly instead of using Move(). Not a good way of moving mobs.
  • You have changed mob.density to 0.

Density=1 but that only works from the sides.West and East.

If you are using Move() and moving a mob with density=1 into another object with density=1, the mob will stop, no matter what direction it comes from. Take a look at the code and find out where it's not using Move(), or where density is set to 0. (Hint, search for "loc" and "density")

Let me know if (and how) you fixed the problem. It's always nice to see when progress is made! :)
