I have a character I just made and the transparent areas are clickable when I use scaling. Scaling is something I really want to use and I was wondering if there is a way around this.

The manual says pixel-perfect click detection doesn't work on scaled characters. Is it really important for it to work in your game?

Well, of course if there's no other way around it then I'll just have to make it without scaling. I just think scaling looks more professional.

does pixel perfect detection only work on characters or on gui's too? and if u have scaling does it make it not work on any element, or just characters?

Does your game absolutely need pixel-perfect click detection? Personally, I'd rather have scaling than have every click be 100% accurate. Unless you're doing something like a targer-shooting game, I don't see much need for it.

Well my character has a wide stance and a small head so there's all this extra transparent space on both sides of his head and chest area. It sucks cause I'll have a lot of stuff to interact with but I have to move my character away from the stuff before i can click on it.

Just wondering... is it necessary for your character to be clickable in the game? Do the puzzles absolutely demand it?
If not, just check the "no interaction" button in the window of your character, and you'll save yourself a lot of trouble.

Clicking on a GUI doesn't assume the pixel-prefect click detection at all. Regarless whether the GUI background has transparent pixels it's considered to be a solid rectangular area. And clicking on it doesn't trigger the on_mouse_click() function and thus doesn't trigger any interactrions beneath. You can, however, make AGS ignore mouse click on GUI by unticking Clickable checkbox in the GUI editor.

It just doesn't work on scaled characters/objects. It would work fine on a none scaled actor.

In fact, it would always work with objects since they are not scaled at all. :)
