  99Instances2Go your tilemap polygon isn't completely to the edge. So you're not seeing the problem I am seeing.

  99Instances2Go you're still using scaled sprites. The pink sprites are not original size you have them 270x270 when they are actually 250x250.

  99Instances2Go , you're using rescaled objects, which seems to get checked differently. If you use objects scaled to their origin size, they would overlap on the edges.

  R0J0hound, thanks.. I've gone with one of those options since everything is block shaped and aligned to grids. The sprites extend further than the polygons, so bboundleft, etc, don't correspond to the polygon collision area. So I have to calculate from center of the objects.. It's working how I want it now.

  Would be useful to have a choice of edge cases by default though in construct2.

  The issue isn't with editing the polygons- I know how to do that. I'm trying to figure a simple way so that edge to edge cases aren't included in the overlapping regardless of polygon shape.

  Is there a way to make the collisions exclude edge to edge cases?

  If I have a two boxes that are 16x16 and put them diagonally to each other and check if overlap at offset y+1, it will say they overlap even though they don't overlap.

  How come the mirrored state isn't in the expressions? I can't count how many times I have needed this and must resort to creating an instance variable.

  You can throw it into a separate scene, using another q3d viewport / camera, then render your main viewport over the sky viewport.

  These ideas are interesting. I see some useful stuff in it.

  I sometimes use c2's Picking with c2's Else.. so that, if there is nothing picked (it can't find a match), it will run specific events.

  How would that be accomplished in your case here?

  A goto function would be handy too, but in a lot of cases I'm not using a function and need to jump to another section that relates to what i'm working on.
