Hi,

I believe there is a bug in GetSpriteCollision which reports a collision on two rectangles at the wrong point.

I have two sprites 32 x 32 pixels in size.

Sprite1 : X = 96, Y = 256, W = 32, H = 32
Sprite2: X = 128, Y = 256, W = 32, H = 32

Get Sprite Collision Reports a hit.

I think what is happening is that the check take the X and adds the width of sprite (96 + 32) = 128
However the bounding rectangle of the sprite actually occupies 96 -> 127 Pixels as the origin pixel counts at point 0. As a result I get false positive hits when two rectangles are next to each other (physically) but not actually touching.

If there is no gap between the sprites, I'd consider that a collision.

What happens if sprite 2 x = 128.001?

That was my first thought as well. But after checking the help files, it does clearly say that the command checks for overlaps.

So, I agree. I think this ought to be considered a bug. Either that or if this is by design then the help files need amending .
