Collision with more than 1 Object SDL 2.0-C++ - c++

Question

I'am new there. I've been learning classes and tried to make a very simple platform game. But I have problem now. I've wanted to set Class "Player" to collide with 2 objects of Class "Block" But Collision do not work for one of them.
Here is my code:
#include <iostream>
#include <SDL.h>
#include <SDL_image.h>
#undef main
class Block
{
private:
SDL_Texture *BlockTexture;
public:
Block(SDL_Renderer *renderTarget, std::string filePath, int xPos, int yPos, int Width, int Height);
~Block();
void Draw(SDL_Renderer *renderTarget);
SDL_Rect BlockPos;
};
Block::Block(SDL_Renderer *renderTarget, std::string filePath, int xPos, int yPos, int Width, int Height)
{
SDL_Surface *surface = IMG_Load(filePath.c_str());
{
BlockTexture = SDL_CreateTextureFromSurface(renderTarget, surface);
}
SDL_FreeSurface(surface);
BlockPos.x = xPos;
BlockPos.y = yPos;
BlockPos.w = Width;
BlockPos.h = Height;
}
Block::~Block()
{
SDL_DestroyTexture(BlockTexture);
}
void Block::Draw(SDL_Renderer *renderTarget)
{
SDL_RenderCopy(renderTarget, BlockTexture, NULL, &BlockPos);
}
class Player
{
private:
SDL_Texture *Texture;
float moveSpeed;
float jumpSpeed;
int falling = 0;
SDL_Scancode keys [3];
public:
SDL_Rect PlayerPos;
Player(SDL_Renderer *renderTarget, std::string filePath, int PosX, int PosY, int Width, int Height);
~Player();
void Update(float delta, const Uint8 *Keystate);
void Draw(SDL_Renderer *renderTarget);
bool Collision(Block &p);
};
Player::Player(SDL_Renderer *renderTarget, std::string filePath, int PosX, int PosY, int Width, int Height)
{
SDL_Surface *surface = IMG_Load(filePath.c_str());
{
Texture = SDL_CreateTextureFromSurface(renderTarget, surface);
}
SDL_FreeSurface(surface);
PlayerPos.x = PosX;
PlayerPos.y = PosY;

PlayerPos.h = Height;
keys[0] = SDL_SCANCODE_UP;
keys[1] = SDL_SCANCODE_LEFT;

moveSpeed = 200.f;
jumpSpeed = 100.f;
}
Player::~Player()
{
SDL_DestroyTexture(Texture);
}
void Player::Update(float delta, const Uint8 *KeyState)
{
if(KeyState[keys[0]])
{

}
if(KeyState[keys[1]])
{

}
if(KeyState[keys[2]])
{
PlayerPos.x += moveSpeed * delta;
}
if(falling == 0)
{
PlayerPos.y += jumpSpeed * delta;
}
}
void Player::Draw(SDL_Renderer *renderTarget)
{
SDL_RenderCopy(renderTarget, Texture, NULL, &PlayerPos);
}
bool Player::Collision(Block &p)
{
if(PlayerPos.x + PlayerPos.w <= p.BlockPos.x || PlayerPos.x >= p.BlockPos.x + p.BlockPos.w ||
PlayerPos.y + PlayerPos.h <= p.BlockPos.y || PlayerPos.y >= p.BlockPos.y + p.BlockPos.h)
{
falling = 0;
return true;
}
else
falling = 1;
return false;
}
SDL_Texture *LoadTexture(std::string filePath, SDL_Renderer *Renderer)
{
SDL_Texture *texture = NULL;
SDL_Surface *surface = IMG_Load(filePath.c_str());
{
texture = SDL_CreateTextureFromSurface(Renderer, surface);

The problem with your code is that each call to Player.Collision overwrites the "falling" variable.
Player.Collision(Block1); //this call calculates a falling value
Player.Collision(Block2); //...then this call overwrites falling with a new value
So effectively your code is only testing if the player is colliding with Block2, so collisions with Block1 are ignored.
Currently your Collision function is:
bool Player::Collision(Block &p)
{
if(PlayerPos.x + PlayerPos.w <= p.BlockPos.x || PlayerPos.x >= p.BlockPos.x + p.BlockPos.w ||
PlayerPos.y + PlayerPos.h <= p.BlockPos.y || PlayerPos.y >= p.BlockPos.y + p.BlockPos.h)
{
falling = 0;
return true;
}
else
falling = 1;
return false;
}
Firstly, your "return false;" is not actually part of the else, as you don't have {}. In this particular case it makes no difference as the else is exited and then the return happens but your indentation would suggest you expect the "return false;" line to be executed as part of the else block so you should put:
else
{
falling = 1;
return false;
}
Next you want to say if you have already detected a collision (eg, with Block1) then don't set falling to 1, to do this add an if statement.
else
{
if(falling != 0) //if we haven't already detected a collision this frame
{
falling = 1;
}
return false;
}
You will however need to set falling back to 1 at the start of each frame, otherwise if a collision is detected on one frame then the player will never fall on subsequent frames, even if they are not colliding with a block.
As a side note, your Player.Update code modifies the player's y position if falling == 0, this seems counter intuitive as usually 0 is false and 1 is true, hence you seem to be saying if not falling then update y, where as it should be if falling update y. Personally I would use a bool rather than an int to hold the value of falling, and then say if(falling) update y, this would make your code clearer.
