We examined the collision settings for the Players group and the Actors group, and we should have noted that any actor in the Players group can detect collisions with tiles only. We should also have noted that actors in the Actors group can detect collisions with both Tiles and other actors in the Actors group.
It's useful to know that actors do not have to detect collisions with other actors in the same group.
The ability to configure collisions between actors in different groups gives us an amazing amount of flexibility in our game, when we need to manage collisions between actors and tiles.
Let's put this new found knowledge into practice!
The collision groups entitled Doodads and Regions have special features that we will not be using. However, it's useful to note that actors in the Doodads group will never cause collision events to occur, and that Regions is a special type of group that enables us to specify arbitrary areas of a scene that can cause collision events.
