When is custom collision coming?

Fredrik Bixo

Yes as the titel above im wondering when custom collision shape is coming to gamesald. Im stuck on my game where I need a rectangle with rounded corners collision shape. Is it possible to make that without custom collision shapes? If so, how can I make it?

No one knows at this point. It is on the dev teams slate but when it will be available is unknown at this time.

a rectangle with rounded corners collision shape can be done!

in rectangleActorAttributes: Physics > Collision Shape > Circle

yeah but I think what you mean are a circle not an rectangle with rounded corners. But Thank you for the help

no, no … trust me on this one! @gameARN

A rectangle shape with rounded corners!

from the Cookbook:
"collision shape: an actor can have a rectangular or circular collision area. For a circular collision area, it is the largest circle that can fit entirely in the dimensions of the actor."

which rounds the corners off …

try it!

A circle with the corners (!!?) rounded off is a circle !

Honestly, gameARN is right, applying a circular collision area to a rectangle gives you a circular collision area - rather than a rectangle with rounded corners.


Here is a square with a circular collision area applied (the collision area is in red):

Yeah taking an actor, setting the collision shape to circle, and stretching it out to make a rectangle does not stretch out the circle collision area. It will leave a circle collision area in the middle of the actor.
