    Legacy GM Help Enemy Not Shoot If There's a Wall

    Hey, Is there a code that will only let the enemy do something to the player if there isn't any solids in between the enemy and player? I'm trying to make it so the enemy can only shoot at me if there is no wall that separates us... Can't find the code for it. Thanks a lot!

    Collision: create dent on an object relative to impact position.

    Okay I don't really know about how to go about explaining this so I will use an example of something that has happened to me recently. A piece of hail fell from the sky and dented my car.

    Full mask collision using code.

    Is there a way I can use code, not the events, to detect if two objects collide? And please, please for gods sake don't tell me "place_meeting". That object uses the object X and Y and not the whole object sprite mask which is what I need. How can I accomplish this?
