--- FULL CODE AT BOTTOM OF QUESTION ---
my plan is to add an area of my screen occupied by an NPC to be completely unable to enter by the player. I've tried doing this method by doing this in the NPC class of my code, where the y position of the player is compared to the "self.y"/current y position of the npc:
class NPC(object):
def __init__(self, path, x, y):
self.image = pygame.image.load(path).convert_alpha()
self.x = x
self.y = y
self.width = self.image.get_width()
self.height = self.image.get_height()
self.hitbox = (self.x, self.y, self.width, self.height)
def spawn(self, surface):
surface.blit(self.image, (self.x, self.y))
self.hitbox = (self.x, self.y, self.width, self.height)
pygame.draw.rect(screen, (255, 255, 255), self.hitbox, 2)
def collide(self, x, y, width, height):
if self.y <= y <= self.y + self.height:
print("collide")
up = True
else:
up = False
print("not")
I am aware that I've not properly finished the code yet, I've only added in the part that should stop the player from going up at the moment for testing purposes.
For some reason however, the collision boundary is at the very top of the screen (whilst the NPC is not) and I suspect it's due to the program measuring the height of the npc from the top of the screen (i.e: npc sprite is 32 pixels tall, so collide region is first 32 pixels at top of screen)
The code that stops the player from moving (which is what the "up" boolean refers to outside of the class) also isn't working - is this due to not returning the values, possibly?

it's very WIP, so if you happen to catch anything else whilst checking through it then feel free to bring it up.
