Entity Type Collisions in (sdltutorials.com SDL Framework)

[Aaru]

What is the best way to make specific entities ignore certain entities in terms of collision.
For instance, If I have entity A (type Player). I want him to ignore entity B ( type ally), but if ally were to collide with any other type of entity it will send a collision.

Has anyone come to this point ? I have figured out how to make entities ignore their own type but that is as far as I have come.

Just spit balling here but could you not change the

Code: Select all

bool Entity::posValidEntity(Entity* entity, int newX, int newY)
{
**Check for collision code**
}


To something along the lines of

Code: Select all

bool Entity::posValidEntity(Entity* entity, int newX, int newY)
{
    if(type is ENTITY_TYPE_PLAYER && entity->type is ENTITY_TYPE_ALLY)
    {
        return false;
    }
   else **Check for collision here**
}
