This function can be used to set the bounding box mode for a sprite. You supply the sprite index and the mode to use, which should be one of the following constants:
| Bounding Box Mode Constant | |
|---|---|
| Constant | Description |
| bboxmode_automatic | Automatic - The bounding box will be calculated automatically, based on the tolerance setting for the sprite |
| bboxmode_fullimage | Full Image - The bounding box will be set to use the full width and height of the sprite, regardless of the tolerance and "empty" pixels |
| bboxmode_manual | Manual - The bounding box is being set manually to user defined values, which requires the use of the function sprite_set_bbox() |
NOTE This function affects the sprite asset so that all further instances with this sprite will have the same bounding box mode.
sprite_set_bbox_mode(ind, mode);
| Argument | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| ind | Sprite Asset | The index of the sprite to change the mode of. |
| mode | Bounding Box Mode Constant | The mode to set (a constant). |
N/A
if (sprite_get_bbox_mode(sprite_index) != bboxmode_automatic)
{
sprite_set_bbox_mode(sprite_index, bboxmode_automatic);
}
The above code checks the bbox mode for the current sprite and if it's not automatic, then it is set to that value.
