Mouse to only select non transparency?

Has anybody done a mod so that mouse clicking will only select an object if it is clicked on a non transparent part of the object?

PS the collision polys are fine for collision, I'm just dealing with mouse selection at this point. So just need to determine if the player actually clicked on a pixel of the sprite itself (excluding transparent pixels).

I'm thinking custom c++ functionality to compare the clicked location on the sprite with the alpha information at that point. I don't have a clue how to do that but it would be where I'd start researching.

Yea that is the problem, the c++ code is soo large, its like finding a needle in a haystack to find out where to begin coding.

You could also mount t2dSceneObjects onto your objects to represent multiple convex collision shapes.

So now the question is, what about a way to auto create a collision polygon based on the sprite itself, or similar?
Because my objects are odd shapes and having only convex shaped polygons just isnt going to work.
