Hello.

I am currently writing a simple 2D shooter and need to include some collision detection.
SPRITE COLLISION works fine but for my game I have got the whole screen as a sprite and only need to detect collision for the edges and the bit in the middle (see screenshot below).
What is the best way to do this?
Should I redesign and not have the background as a sprite or is there a way to implement collision the way I am currently doing things?
Thanks.

To ellaborate a little:

SPRITE COLLISION detects a collision all the time because the whole screen is a sprite. What I want is to detect a collision only if a non-transparant area has been hit.

I tried using POINT() to detect the colour at the four corners of my sprite but that doesn't work for me either. Black is detected everywhere except in the water, which is a box added later.

Thanks

I think the sprite collision system should allow non-transparent style collision, I'm pretty sure I got it working before, just need to dig out the old bat and ball thing I was playing with - I'll get back to you later, see if there was anything weird I had to do.
