collision detection

pnvgordinho

I maybe saying something wrong here but GS only gives you rectangular and circular collision detection. Couldnt you make a tool like a point to point collision. I explain, ex: in photoshop you use the lasso tool or the polygonal lasso tool, so you can trace the border of an image.
You could do something like that. Or how about a mask?. Using an image as a mask to determine the collision detection.
Im knew to GS and I dont if GS as these features but from what Ive seen from the examples, GS doesnt do these things and it would be nice to have them. Thanks.

Yep- it doesn't do these things.

Depending on the game you're making, it might not even matter

It would be nice to be able to adjust the collision shape, but at this point GS can't do it. It is a feature that has been requested many times.

Remember, this is still beta software, and it does some amazing things, but there are still limits.

A bit off topic but i noticed that if you put a circular collision on an actor and have it jump continuously, it will move from its original spot and eventually fly all over the place

Anyone know why this is?

It is quite possible to make a second actor constrain to and actor and be the collision trigger. For instance, if you need a head shot on a body, you could have a small circle actor with visibility turned off align to the main body actor and record collisions with the circle only.
