Checking overlap on different layers?

[joshuacurtiss]

Quick question, is there an easy built-in way to check if two items overlap when they're on different layers? Basically I'm trying to simulate the flying fish like in Mario Bros, so they need body physics but shouldn't be impacted by other things in the player's layer but should kill the player. But my understanding is the built-in overlap methods (whether overlapped event or isOverlapped() method) check based on your layer.

I've got a getAtPos function I made that get()s all objects and then returns only those that match a given vec2 point, which works but is not as precise. I guess the math/logic for check a body area is just a little more complex and was making my brain hurt.

Well, first of all make the fish do not have the body component, so that they do not collide with the solid() at the moment, and I think that with that it would be fine, create the homemade jump using move() or moveTo()

Yeah I appreciate being able to just implement body and gravity and then tell the fish to jump without having to do my own math for physics. ;-p

Also removed the diff layer no collision rule in beta and next version

Thanks @slmjkdbtl I think that's good idea to at least have a parameter that lets you ignore the layers. I imagine in some cases it's useful.
