Collision with actors

peterraad

Hello! I have a spaceship actor with an image that has a neon glow to it. I also have a square enemy actor that has a neon glow to it. When i play the game i have "if player collides with enemy then blow up" it works and everything but it blows up a little before it actually touches the enemy actor. I know the reason behind this my images have empty space but i need to keep the empty space in order for the image to look the way i want it. Is there a different way to have a more accurate collision between the player and enemy? Please help, greatly appreciated!

Change the collision shape of the actor to circle. That should do it.

The collision area of an actor also includes any transparent space it's best to trim your image so there is no transparent area.

i already changed it to circle but @FryingBaconStudios if i trim it anymore then it will make he neon look boxed in and funny (which i dont want) is there another way?

You could constrain a smaller actor to the ship and make the collision happen with that actor.
