[AS2] creating custom wall

[Cozlaw]

How would you go about creating a custom wall in actionscript? (not a circle or a square) Like a custom drawn thing.

Like say you had a player (circle) with an instance name of "player" and you had a drawn wall with an instance name of "wall". How would you make the wall a true wall or barrier?

_root.onEnterframe = funciton() {
if (player.hitTest(_root.wall)) {
// code that happens when it hits the wall goes here
}
}

Except not really because of bounding boxes.

ive seen a function before to get rid of bounding boxes.. i cant think of it at the moment but its somehting along the lines of shapeFlag or something and looks like this

if (player.hitTest(_root.wall._x, _root.wall._y, true)) {

You may want to check this out for your bounding boxes troubles: http://troygilbert.com/2007/06/25/pixel-perfect-collision-detection-in-actionscript3/

Oh, oops, you want AS2: http://www.gskinner.com/blog/archives/2005/10/source_code_sha.html

ok... found my old code xD

this gets rid of bounding boxes...

draw an odly shaped object... call it square1
then draw a circle call it square2

both of thoose were instance names btw...

now add this code to fram one and test it out.... NO BOUNDING BOXES!


_root.onEnterFrame = function() {
circle.onPress = function() {
this.startDrag();
}
circle._alpha = 100;
if (_root.square1.hitTest(square2._x, square2._y, true)) {
circle._alpha = 20;
}
}

sry here is the real code!

_root.onEnterFrame = function() {
square2.onPress = function() {
this.startDrag();
}
square2._alpha = 100;
if (_root.square1.hitTest(square2._x, square2._y, true)) {
square2._alpha = 20;
}
}
