libgdx animation inside of a rectangle - collison detection - rectangles

Question

I am writing a RPG game similar to the style of Pokemon (top down view). I am now working on the issue of collision detection. I am wanting to create the collision detection b

Answer 1

If you want to detect collision between two rectangles, there is an example I used with sprites.

public class TestSpriteOne extends Sprite{  
    private Rectangle rectangle;

Add in the constructor.

rectangle = new Rectangle(getX(), getY(), getWidth(), getHeight());

In update Method

rectangle.setPosition(getX(), getY());

Is a new nethod

public Rectangle getColliderActor(){
    return this.rectangle;
}

Other classes

public class TestSpriteTwo extends Sprite{
    private Rectangle rectangle;

In the constructor.

rectangle = new Rectangle(getX(), getY(), getWidth(), getHeight());

In update method

rectangle.setPosition(getX(), getY());

In new method

public Rectangle getColliderActor(){
   return this.rectangle;
}

// Call in the TestSpriteOne class

boolean hasCollided = TestSpriteTwo.getColliderActor().overlaps(getColliderActor());

//Call in the GameScreen class

boolean hasCollided = TestSpriteOne.getColliderActor().overlaps(TestSpriteTwo.getColliderActor());

It overlaps whether this rectangle overlaps the other rectangle, so hasCollided variable will become true.

Edit: if the animation changes its width or height, you could resize the rectangle in the update method

rectangle.setSize (width, height);
