Ok so I understand the process, but don't know how to draw the boxes as the explanation is not very explanatory.

I need to draw a box next to a sprites position. 4 different boxes, at the top of the sprite , on both sides and and the bottom so if the sprite goes up or down or left to right it gets box collision.

The problem is that I don't understand how the boxes are called for even with examples.

GetSpriteInBox() is not what you're looking for.
This command checks whether or nor a sprite is within a rectangle.

Either use DrawBox() to draw boxes, or use sprites for the boxes.

Coming from a WinAPI background I find it easier to use POINT and RECT structures for such things, just my way of coding

heres a few helper functions for using such structures in AGK
