Stencyl Essentials

Coin collisions and physics settings

We now have all the visuals set up for our Coin actor. Next, we'll need to configure the physics settings. One thing we need to keep in mind is that, while we do want to be able to detect when the Player Character collides (overlaps) with a coin, we do not want him to react physically to this event (bounce, stop, slide, and so on).
