How to handle tile collisions?

Tile collisions only allow the first tile in a tileset to be the “empty” tile:

When using auto-tiling, make sure to set that tile as the “empty” tile.

Now you need to get the tilemap ID when the room starts:

/// Room Start
global.col_tilemap = layer_tilemap_get_id("Layer Name");

You can then make a script/function that takes in hsp and vsp (x/y speeds) as parameters, and returns whether there’s a tile collision where the instance is moving:

var _col =  tilemap_get_at_pixel(global.col_tilemap, bbox_left + _hsp, bbox_top + _vsp)
        ||  tilemap_get_at_pixel(global.col_tilemap, bbox_right + _hsp, bbox_top + _vsp)
        ||  tilemap_get_at_pixel(global.col_tilemap, bbox_left + _hsp, bbox_bottom + _vsp)
        ||  tilemap_get_at_pixel(global.col_tilemap, bbox_right + _hsp, bbox_bottom + _vsp)

We’re checking all four corners of the bounding box (with the hsp/vsp added) for collisions on the tilemap.

This function can be used with the collision system demonstrated here.

Note that if your instance’s mask is larger than a particular block of tiles, then your instance may be able to go through them.
