- I am working on an AMOS project, a simple shooter for the AMIGA Public
- Domain.
- While coding the game, I have run into a problem:
- I have a scene where an enemy slides up and comes into view in a window
- of a building. The enemy is on the screen all the time, but I have set
- it's
- 'BOB LIMIT' to the size of the window, so the only time you see the
- enemy
- is when it slides up into the 'BOB LIMIT' view area.
-
- The problem is, if i want another 'BOB' to detect a collision with
- the 'BOB'
- in the window, it detects a collision with the 'BOB' even if it's
- under the
- window (NOT IN THE 'BOB LIMIT' AREA). The 'BOB' does'nt even have
- to be visible on the screen (IN THE 'BOB LIMIT' AREA), to detect a
- collision.
-
- Why does it detect a collision, with a part that's not being drawed on the
- screen?
- is it because collisions are based on the X and Y positions? Or because AMOS
- looks at the size of the 'BOB' images in the .abk 'BOB' bank to check for
- collisions?
