Help With Drawing -Question
I am drawing up a bunch of new characters for a game I'm making. I looked at http://www.3dfa.com/features.htm and if you scroll down it shows the person drawing a ship using a grid. I never used grids to draw my characters before but I would like to now. The problem is, how can I have a grid where I can fill in the squares with colors? I tried making a paint element then clicking the grid icon and stretching out a large grid, but then By stretching out the grid it makes my overal object big! So if I use a colideRect Code, My character is going to collide with tons of objects because of the grid. Is it possible to have a trasparent grid that isnt part of the element but its just their so you can fill in the squares to make characters? Otherwise this is a problem for the parts of the grid that I dont use is a big ammount and this left over grid makes my object bigger than the actual character is. SO when i use the colideRect code, If objects colide with the outsides of the grid I used, things will happen even though the actually character isnt touching anything! ( i know how to make the grid colorless so you cant actually see the grid in my game... But how do I have it so when I click paint element, or when i create a movie, that their is a default grid to help me draw? But so this grid doesnt get in the way when using the collideRect function?????
Thanks
