x and y values in sprites

[Rhino.Freak]

how can I measure the sprites x,y, w and h values in a easy way than to count each pixel?

I know that you can measure w and h in paint. Go to the image -> choose Image -> go to Attributes and you have the w(Width) and h(Height) but x and y don't really know.

MS Paint features the pixel-count at the bottom of the window. In Win 7, it's in the bottom left.

You can thus easily measure the coordinates. If it's for finding suitable wpoints, for example, you'll have to add offsets.

Example: Spritesheet, each sprite is, according to the data, 79px wide and 79px tall. Add 1px to each for the line-separation (you see these green lines in template's spritesheets, they're not displayed in-game). Makes 80px each and is this fairly easy to calculate.
Let's say, you want to place a weapon at the coordinates (341,127) in bandit_0.bmp. Count the number of rows and columns (not to mix with the row/col-attributes in the dat-files, I don't know why those are the other way round). At this coordinate, we are in the second row and this is the fifth image. So, you'll have to subtract the sprite-sizes that are before. Makes for x: 341 - (5*80) = 21 and for y: 127 - (1*80) = 47. So, these are your coordinates.

Hope that makes things a bit clearer

okay i got this part's last part but i dont know what u mean by at cordinates (341, 127) i mean where are they measured from? ?


And can someone tell me how to code "what will happen when 2 specific balls hit each other"

(0,0) is the top left corner. The y-axis faces downwards, the x-axis to the left.

but where does it start from in the game? the background corner or what?

It starts from the actual pic (the pic when is the character in that moment).Watch this tutorial for more:

The both go to their hit frames (if they are both state:3000 balls).

[Rhino.Freak]

okay i got it.. and about that hitting 2 balls i mean can we code or decide in a way that what will happen when ball A touches ball B and a special effect is formed, that dont works when ball A touches ball C..

If balls came from the same team,then HEX editing is needed to release this (if you don't want to have a buggy view).
While if balls are from different teams,then it should not be that hard to code it.
