have anyone used collidesWithItem?

[niko]

much thanks - this is the code that works for me:

QPainterPath path = shape();
 
        QMatrix matrix;
        matrix.translate(value.toPointF().x(), value.toPointF().y());
        polygon = matrix.map(path);
 
        QList<QGraphicsItem*> items = scene()->items(path, Qt::IntersectsItemShape);
        items.removeAll(this);
 
        if (!items.isEmpty()) {
            // Collision! Don't move.
            return pos();
        }

QPainterPath path = shape();

        QMatrix matrix;
        matrix.translate(value.toPointF().x(), value.toPointF().y());
        polygon = matrix.map(path);
        
        QList<QGraphicsItem*> items = scene()->items(path, Qt::IntersectsItemShape);
        items.removeAll(this);

        if (!items.isEmpty()) {
            // Collision! Don't move.
            return pos();
        }

i didn't need the mapToParent and mapToScene calls. furthermore QPainterPath doesn't have a translate-function afaics - so i used qmatrix for that...
