Hello
I have a sprite that is sort of triangle shaped and I want the collision shape to be sort of triangle shaped also. But inset into the bigger triangle of the sprite. So that when the player walks on it they appear to be sort of inside the sprite.

The idea is that it supposed to be sort of 2.5D, maybe more of 2 and a smidge D.

Anyhow, if anybody understands what I'm trying to achieve and has a small example that I can look at, I would be very grateful.

Take a look at this;

http://appgamekit.com/documentation/Reference/Sprite/SetSpriteShapePolygon.htm

I've never actually used it, but think this is what you are after...

EDIT: Just found this too (searched for 'Polygon' in the forum threads);

You can use my free tool for creating complex shapes: ShapeUp

Using the SetSpriteShapePolygon is easier where you need to be precise. Just remember the main rules for creating shapes:
1-Create shapes in the clockwise direction
2-Create only convex shapes. Concave shapes can be made from multiple polygons using AddSpriteShapePolygon for subsequent shapes

Try experimenting with my tool as it will tell you when you are drawing a shape incorrectly.

Thank you baxslash! The facts that the shape must be in clockwise direction and convex is great and very important.

Your tool is great also. Thank you.
