Just wondering if this is possible:-

Detecting Sprite collision only with parts that are not transparent.

i.e my colorkey is 255,0,255

I've got a 640x480 image on screen, and I just want to check collision against the parts that dont match 255,0,255 ?

Not yet.
S'posed to be one of the many 2D fixes in the 5.0 patch.

Just been reading through the forums, and it would seem that it is indeed possible, IanM has posted code, however it looks to be incomplete, possibly due to an error somewhere?

I'm not sure if I'm the only one with this problem, as I only signed up to the forums a few days ago.. been lurking a while though.. but there are a fair few instances of people saying "Here's the code!" and then nothing afterwards....

Load all the parts that are transparent, and all the parts that aren't, into an array, then check against the array when your sprite comes up to that section @_@.

Daunting, but thats the only way I know of at the moment.

Any examples?

There is most certainly another way which IanM posted as I said, I just can't see the whole code...

No. You have to make the array by HAND...Or write a DB program to scan it (the image), which is also tough.

I'm also very dumb. Didn't see the rather obvious "Source" button until now...

I'll do it the old fashioned way, read source, understand source, re-write source...

Snafu it does work.

Try the below code that utilises IanM's code.

I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand.

Can someone explain to me how that code actually sets the transparent color to not act as part of the sprite in a collision?

I really didn't expect that transparencies would count in collisions because that's automatically taken care of in something as shitty as Macromedia Director's "Lingo" programming language, so I had just assumed it would've been taken care of in this. I went and tested it in disbelief and found that transparencies do count in collision.

I was really disappointed and now I'd like to see a simple quickie guide on what exactly makes that script tick. I want to edit it to conform with my code for my game engine, and I can't do that because I just have no clue how it works.

Thank you all much teh much. ^-^
Cya.

What is it you are after exactly? I have several sprite collision routines, depending on what is required.

The usual one wanted is alpha collision. The one Nilrem has posted is for non-black colours.

I would like one that takes anything made by DBPro to be see-through to not count as a collision.

So, anything with an alpha value of zero? - Attached.

Or do you mean with a transparency set with 'SET IMAGE COLORKEY'? That's a little harder, but do-able.

I don't have the slightest clue how that code works...and whatever the heck it's doing, all it's managing to do is make the thing crash.

Is there something I should know or change about this code??

(btw, "anything with an alpha value of zero" is what I wanted)

Oops, I forgot to mention that the code will only deal with 32 bit images. That may cause a crash when the code tries to read into memory it doesn't own.
