I've always had a problem getting this to work, and I can't figure out why. Can anyone give me some sample code (that they know works for a fact)? Or possibly some download locations with samples? Thanks. If I don't, then I have to do the collision manually, which sucks horribly.

Yeah, I know, I only have one game. Yeah, I know it sucks. But I made it! Me!

Due to the lack of responses I'll now assume that the Sprite Collision() command does not function properly.

You need to wait a day at least for a few responses, especially when you post in the middle of the night.

The sprite collision does work but in dbpro it is not pixel perfect. It uses the plains the sprite image is on so either use square sprites or use your own methods.

See code for example

I didn't post in the middle of the night, I posted earlier this evening. I know that the sprite collision is not pixel perfect as well, and I have been using my own methods. By the way, I've tried everything using the code, include just printing text that says "Hey! The sprites have collided!". No such luck. I'll try your code though. Thanks.

Oddly enough, it worked. I must just be a total moron. Lol.

Another question. If I were to scale the sprite, would the plain be scaled as well?

That's odd. If that's true, then in that case would that not mean that the X and Y positions are moved to the center of the now scaled sprite? That can't be the case then, because my collision code would be working and I wouldn't be having this problem. Oh well, thanks anyway winch.

The scaled sprite uses x,y in the same way as before it was scaled. The top left point of the sprite stays the same and the bottom right point move accoringly.
see code.
