    How can I define a custom collision mask?

    I was wondering if i could define a collision mask where i can define the points of the edges of the mask. For example: if i give 4 points, i should have a rectangular mask. I am drawing a custom polygon in my game and it changes during gameplay which is why i cant just use a precise mask.

    Legacy GM SOLVED: Is it possible to use event collision in code for masks?

    Should be a straight forward issue, but I can't find anything on it so I'm assuming there's no function for it. Explanation: So when you create a Collision Event with an object inside the event window of an object, it runs code only if it's own sprite's MASK collides/overlaps with the other...

    Legacy GM Question with Sprite Bounding Boxes

    When using the draw_sprite_ext function, is the sprite's bounding box changed when the angle is changed or the x scale and y scale is changed? Game maker's manual says that the sprite's resource isn't changed, but I can't tell if that means the bounding box or not.
