Sprite detection

| Would this be possible in blitz? 1.Create a sprite including a "black area". 2.Determine if an object hits the sprite;it seems there is no collision detection for sprites.Correct? 3.Determine if the part of the sprite contacted was the "black-invisible" area. 4.I can't use quads because it surely involve too much flipping to get them facing the camera.It least I think it does.Probably have 100-200 at a time. I am currently using an invisible mesh with the sprite centered in the mesh.This works super since I can shape the meshes to anything I want and get good collision detection but it involves a great deaal of time. Any ideas? |

| You can do collision detection with sprites, just not sphere-polygon.  Now detecting what part of a sprite was collided with, that's a trick. |

| Since sprites are circular, you could get the collision x y z, and work out the rotation of the sprite and translate this, to get a x y and z. |

| jhocking - thanks. I assume that just because a part of the sprite is invisible will not help my problem.hat part will still be treated as part of the sprite.Obvious I guess? Ross -darned if I know what you are talking about. |
