Pixel Perfect Collition

Pixel Perfect Collition​

version 1.0.1​

 ​

What is this?

This script is a scripter's tool to allow to check pixel perfect collitions between pixels.

It's actually just a snipper than adds two methods to the Sprite's prototype.

What is Perfect pixel collition?

Is a way to check if two sprites "Touch" each other..

You can see an example here:

Spoiler

Do you see? they are not touching each other (even if both rects are touching)

If they touch, you'll know.

Bugs and limitations

At the moment it is rather simple, it doesn't check if the sprite's scale has changed or rotated sprites.

Those are features for next versions.

1.0.1 - Now it has to be a little faster, because it calculates less times per check.

How to use it?

In short terms:

spriteA.collidesWith(spriteB, tolerance=1); // means alpha 1 or bigger triggers touchTerms of Use

As almost all of my plugins, there are released under CC0 or Apache 2.0.

If you are worried about, don't worry you can use them in both commertial and non commertial games.

In this case, under Apache 2.0, it means you have to say 'thanks Ramiro' on a readme or your credits.

You can choose CC0 if Apache 2.0 license isn't available in your country.

Hope you enjoy.

From the screenshot, it looks like it supports transparent pixels. Is that the case?


If so, that would be very useful.

That is the whole idea, it also has alpha tolerance if you like to use AA sprites...

Those features are exaplained in detail if you open the help inside the plugin parameters.

but basically:

spriteA.collidesWith(spriteB, tolerance=1); // means alpha 1 or bigger triggers touchEDIT: Now the algorythm should run a bit faster...

Can you explain a little more simply how to use this?  I have a basic Action Battle System in place but need to have better collision detection. For instance if the 'Player' collides with an enemy she gets damaged and knocked back and also if the players 'sword' sprite collides with an enemy then the enemy gets damaged and knocked back.

So basically I need to know how to use this plug in to have event commands triggered when two sprites collide (one of which could be the player sprite)

 

[Ramiro]

It's just a function you may call from any sprite:

if script call [ actorSprite.collidesWith(enemySprite) ]  comment: this happens when the two sprites collide  >else  comment: they are not colliding  >endIt doesn't work if you rotate those sprites, so you may have to do each rotated frame of the weapon as a different sprite in order of it to work, for example.

This has to be used with another plugins, it may be quite hard to use it with just events unless you know how to get the event's sprite (wich is a bit complicated without accessing directly at Spriteset_Map)

I'll use this tool. Thanks Ramiro.
