Box around actors ?

JamieOneil

I have a game where you can collide with other actors, but they have a transparent box and when you hit the box you die, how do i get rid of the box ? or the canvas on photoshop ?

Crop your image. Gimp has an auto crop that cut transparent areas out. not sure about photoshop.

To get rid of unnecessary space in Photoshop, you could just crop the canvas.

EDIT: Photoshop, too, has autocrop.

To solve the issue in GS, you can make your own custom collide rule (if the player's position is contained in a global variable). Just check

if player.x > self.x-10
if player.x < self.x+10
if player.y > self.y-10
if player.y < self.y+10

And you have essentially just created a 20x20 bounding box.
