sorry, i know this has been asked before, but i was hoping makslane could let me know if getpixel() is on the list for a new feature, (is it possible with this engine ? .... and/or, if so, when it may be available..

sorry to repeat posts, but the possibility and/or time frame is critical to my future plans for my spritemaker program...

many thanks

What kind of value a getPixel function should return in Game Editor?
A struct with a RGB value like this?

Code: Select all

color = getPixel(int x, int y);
somevariable1 = color.r;
somevariable2 = color.g;
somevariable3 = color.b;

yes , almost exactly that , tho , I realize that it will most likely only work on a "canvas", ....which would work for what I need.

Ideally, I would also love to be able to do a getpixel on the "screen' or "view" ...As, I imagine there would be a lot of use for that in games as well...

but, yes please, even a canvas getpixel() would work..

Ideally, I would like to use the GE engine to move sprites around the screen ( and/or draw them to a canvas) and then use getpixel() on each frame redraw (draw event ) to create an array of pixel data, ready to save as a bitmap.

eg: check what is on screen/canvas using a loop, and fill an array of pixel data..

I can create arrays to do this, but it would be a lot easier simply to be able to capture what is on screen..

if that makes sense...

thanks

Oooo I'd love this function. getPixel() would enable me to use hotspots in our games.

If possible, I would also like to see the getpixel function include a variable for transparency/alpha value

thanks
