Hello there all community members :)
I recently tried some scaling code using ZOOMSPRITE and ROTOZOOMSPRITE, however, the SPRCOLL didn't like those commands because it detects the current size of the original loaded sprite, and not the printed zoomed sprite.
i was thinking on a solution... using GRABSPRITE but i'm not sure if it will work because of my game having a background...
Thanks in advance :)!
I never try to do this, but if you try to search some pixel don't it's black, but looking only in a layer... something whit getpixel, but only it's looking what happend in the rectangle of your sprite, to getpixel doen't matter backgrounds or another sprites in the same time on screen...
I overcame this in my Balloonacy game.
Create a virtual screen and do the rotozoomsprite onto it, then display that virtual screen sprite in the game and collision works perfectly. :)
sorry for the delay, i will try that trick and come here again as soon as possible :D
Never a trick!... Technic! ;) :P :D (that is a joke from the past, don´t worry :))
I hope it works out! :good:
tecnhique haha :D can you please provide me some pseudo-code please? :X
Here's a fully working piece of code. You'll have to replace the blocks with your image and make sure that the second virtual screen is large enough to display the image fully rotating (otherwise you could cut bits of the image off).
// Project: roto sprite collision
// Start: Friday, July 05, 2013
// IDE Version: 10.283
// SETCURRENTDIR("Media") // go to media files
SETSCREEN 640,480,0
GLOBAL angle#
GLOBAL mx%, my%, b1%, b2%
SYSTEMPOINTER TRUE
// Create an odd shaped sprite out of rects

USESCREEN 1
DRAWRECT 32,32,64,64,RGB(255,0,0)
DRAWRECT 64,64,64,64,RGB(255,0,0)
// Create actual virtual screen that we will rotate sprite onto
CREATESCREEN 2,999,180,180
// Create mouse pointer sprite
CREATESCREEN 3,5,2,2
USESCREEN 3
DRAWRECT 0,0,2,2,RGB(255,0,255)
// Use the normal screen for all other operations
USESCREEN -1
// Repeat until ESC pressed
WHILE TRUE
// Get mouse position and use this for collision detection
MOUSESTATE mx,my,b1,b2
// Usse virtual screen 2 for drawing operations
USESCREEN 2
DRAWRECT 0,0,180,180,RGB(255,0,128) // Clear screen
// Draw rotated sprite onto screen 2
ROTOSPRITE 1,26,26,angle#
// Increase rotation
INC angle#,0.5
// Revert back to normal drawing screen
USESCREEN -1
// Draw the virtual screen onto normal screen as a sprite
DRAWSPRITE 999,200,150
// If mouse collides with rotaing image then let user know
IF SPRCOLL(5,mx,my, 999,200,150) THEN PRINT "COLLISION!!!!!",10,10
SHOWSCREEN
WEND
Move the mouse around the screen and test for collisions on the rotating sprite.
does it also works with ROTOZOOMSPRITE? i have some code that makes the image bigger depending on screensize Y
THANKS FOR SHARING your code! :)

this is a sample that i use for Android
Of cause it does as long as you remember to make the offscreen big enough.
:O still trying to understand your code Ian Price :S
haha
by the way, what about GRABSPRITE?
You can use GRABSPRITE to create the sprite (or POLYVECTOR or DRAWLINE or ...), but I thought you'd want to actually load in your own image.
My code above was created so that you could get an understanding of virtual screens - how to create them, how to draw to them and how to use them in real world applications.
And yes, you can use ROTOZOOMSPRITE - just ensure that the screen you are drawing the zoomed/rotated sprite to is large enough to incorporate the full image without clipping, as kanonet said.
normally im dont like virutal screen, because they have some issues (multiple, slowdown etc), but this trick is very very nice used for rotated based collisions.
