Better collision boxes?

SolarPepperStudios

Has anyone else wanted better collision boxes? If any of you have ever used Gamemaker 8+ then you should know what I'm talking about. If you haven't then here is what I mean: In Gamemaker 8 and above you can make custom collision boxes or have the computer do it for you and make a "precise" collision box. A precise collision box is of course a collision box in the shape of the image you are using, whereas GameSalad only offers square and circle collision boxes. I think this would greatly improve many games. I know it would help mine!

not have this option, GameSalad only accepts circles or squares. Although this in roadmap, maybe later this year? do not know ...

@RUPAS If you go into the physics section of any actor and there is a drop down box labeled "Collision Shape". This is the collision shape option.

Yes, I know ..... I was just responding to you, saying that there are no more options collision only have these two options

This has been suggested many times. And there are of course other tools besides GameSalad that will offer features (such as custom collision areas) that are not available in GameSalad, but they all have trade-offs. It's a question of what fits your needs. No tool is perfect.

Yeah these would be good... I am really waiting for joints. I think I have been waiting on that for about 2 years now..
