Hi Guys, I'm a new Boxer, I just bought Buildbox 2 days ago, and I like it so much, but I've a big problem with the Collision Shapes The Enemy Elements in my game are Mountains (If he touches Mountains he dies), and the mountains are very winding, so I couldn't cover all its borders with Polygon Shape: so I had to add an Extra Mini Collision Elements Manually: and this process took two days! (I made the game in 4 hours but Adjusting the Collision shapes took 2 days!) but that's not the main problem, the problem is that I got 'hundreds' of Elements in my project to cover all the Enemy's borders: and this Hundreds of elements made the game sooo laggy and very very slow, it became totally unplayable game. what should I do to fix this?
Ideally, you should not use as many objects with collisions. At the moment Buildbox does not allow collisions by pixels.
Collision shapes don't need to be and shouldn't be exact, just good enough. It's overkill and will kill your performance. It only needs to look good. You could have easily used half a dozen shapes or less if you really wanted to cover the mountain near perfectly (way better than good enough anyway).
You can also slice your rock into few (3-4) separate pieces and create collision shape for each one. Link them together and you are done. It's good to keep in mind that 7-points restriction during designing process so you'll be able to re-use these slices to build different types of rock, not just one type, if prepared correctly.
