Call for Feedback: Mouse Event Trigger Default

[rob]

Hi everyone,

I am currently pondering enabling isoBounds mouse triggers by default when an entity is switched to isometric(true).

For those who do not know about the new mouse event trigger options on entities please see: viewtopic.php?f=8&t=6

The isoBounds setting basically makes mouse events fire against the 3d bounds polygon of the entity instead of it's flat 2d AABB polygon. It seems logical to me that if you are placing an object with isometric enabled that you would want mouse events to trigger against the isoBounds polygon by default.

Can you guys chime in on this proposed change? If I don't hear objections I will implement for the next version update.

Thanks!

Seems like this is exactly the behaviour you'd expect.
I cannot think of a reason why you wouldn't want the mouse to interact with the iso bounds.
I see you can set it with IgeEntity#mouseEventTrigger so it the old behaviour can be enabled if someone really does wants the 2d bounds

That was my thought as well. I'll ask Goldfire to weigh in too as they have used iso extensively.

I use the 2D bounds collisions for some objects, but yeah, I can just manually set it in those cases

This is now part of both the master and dev branch versions.
