Question - Code Full Collision Box Affected?

[JohnJ]

Hello, I am relatively new to GameMaker 2, I am trying to make it so that, when the WHOLE collision box of the Player sprite is on the Water object, then the Player sprite to change to another one that I have made. Currently, the sprite changes when even just 1 pixel of the collission box is on the water, what code should I input, and where, to make it so that the game checks to make sure that the player sprite's collision box is fully in the water before changing the sprite?

One approximation is to check the four corners with position_meeting().

if (position_meeting(bbox_left, bbox_top, obj_water) && position_meeting(bbox_right, bbox_top, obj_water) && position_meeting(bbox_left, bbox_bottom, obj_water) && position_meeting(bbox_right, bbox_bottom, obj_water)) {
  //...
}

In side-view platformer setups, you can usually get away with just the first left-top condition.

Thanks, so would I put this in the water objects code or the players code?

Surely you could have figured that out yourself by actually reading the code. I'm tired of this abject lack of initiative shown by recent rookies.

Does "If my top-left, top-right, bottom-left and bottom-right corners collide with water" sound like something your player would ask, or something your water would ask?

Thanks for the prompt reply, I was able to assume where this code was supposed to go after posting my last reply, sorry if I had sounded ignorant.
