Paste into background error

[kingkibble]

I'm trying to make a new MMF version of an old dos game called matterblaster, but I'm running into problems with the pasting into background.

The bullets are supposed to destroy the obstacle, and paste themselves into the background as non-obstacles. They work sometimes, but other times they eliminate the background without pasting themselves,s o the wall looks like its there when it isn't.

My bro walrus tried to help, but he couldn't think of how to do it either. I also want to think of a way to make stronger walls and such, but no luck :\

I think this problem is due to the one reported by Joshtek in the Build 242 thread when you paste an object into the background over an obstacle. I've fixed this problem and it seems that your game works fine with this fix. I think it happens because when you paste an image, some parts of the collision around may be incorrectly erased too, so the "explosion particle erase" are no longer created above these holes (as the "is overlaping backdrop" condition is false).

Test it with the next update of the build 242, I'll upload it either later today or tomorrow.

I was told that the paste on to background feature was buggy anyway, possibly because it uses a lot of memory. I could be mistaken, though.
