checking by a pixel??? or something.....

[amanuob]

Ummm can anybody help me XD...
I would like to know if there is a way to find out if a certain place/pixel in the screen is available or passable for a pixel character to go to.???

░░░░░░░ like this=> checks if place or directory is clear then
■░░░░░█
░░███████
██████████

░░░░░░░moves
░░░░░■ █ ___and the character only moves in his own parameter like
░░███████
██████████

▓▓▓▓▓▓▓___I was planning to make my own way of moving into rough terrain with minimum or no use of physical response.
▓▒▒▒▒▒▓
▓▒░░░▒▓
▓▒░ ■░▒▓
▓▒░░░▒▓
▓▒▒▒▒▒▓

I tried to make multiple pixel Actors but it turned out to be a bit laggy, and imagine using this method with mutiple characters its a nightmare... XD

so do you think its posible????
Thanx in adavnce XD...

You can use collisionfree() for this exact purpose.
Here is its definition from the script reference.:

CollisionFree: Check if position (x, y) is collision free for ActorName. Return 1 if not collide, 0 otherwise.

Code: Select all

int CollisionFree(char *actorName, int x, int y)

Actor name:

• "Event Actor": Actor that is receiving the current event.
• "Parent Actor": Event Actor's parent, if exists.
• "Creator Actor": Event Actor's creator, if Event Actor has been created in some "Create Actor" action.
• "Collide Actor": Actor that collided with the event Actor.
• Any Actor in game.

Script Editor Syntax:

Code: Select all

if (CollisionFree("Event Actor", x, y+5)) y=y+5; //On KeyDown Event script for KEY_DOWN, check if there is no collision before moving an actor down by 5 pixels.

Ahh!! XD was wondering what was that command for (סּ,סּ).....

so when I set actor name to ground?
and ground is no where to be found
my actor will move down???

..is this found in the GE tutorial??? (>,<)...

Thanx by the way XD...
PLUS++++ XD really saved my time with this code

You set the actor name to the actor going to be colliding.
e.g. checking if the player is going to collide, actor name would be player.
