Spine bounding box and image scale

[Kezarus]

Hi everyone!


I need my bounding box to be a fixed size (256x256) for a combat grid system. I did that to everything but the characters. Now I'm having a problem with my Line of Sight system.

I use image_xscale and image_yscale a lot on an object that uses a sprite that is a Spine skeleton. If it was a regular sprite I would draw it manually and have custom scale variables that would not mess with the bounding box. But this a Spine skeleton and I'm afraid that if I draw it manually I will lost the event triggers and etc.

I'm just wondering if I could make an object that will only follows the characters and not be impacted by the scale vars and the colisions would be made in relation to THAT new object and not the character object.

Is there a less hacky way of doing this? What do you guys think?

Cheers!

Why would the method used to draw a sprite have any impact on events? Just seems like a strange assumption to make. Testing whether JSON events still fire depending on draw methods is relatively easy to set up and test, so did you?

Wouldn't a sprite mask that is 256x256 fix this issue?

Almost 2 years later. Mask didn't solve it as it should, 'cause I scale the sprites a lot. So I create a "collisor object" that stay right where I need it on the size and position that I wanted. =]

OH LMAO, didnt even notice!

I guess with your update we can go ahead and close this now
