Adjacent objects?

Is there anyway to check if an object with one alterable string is 16 pixels to the left,right,above or below to another (same object) with a different alterable string? If this is possible, how?

Aha! This continues from my thread requesting alterable values in strings. Here is physical proof that they need them :)

The only way to do this would be to store an identifier (like spread a value) inside another paragraph of the string. I don't know how you'd go about doing this.

I think your jumping the gun here, because I'm not so sure this is his problem. He says Alterable Strings, meaning on objects, not Strings, being an object themselves. And back to the question. What are you comparing Darkwing? Are you comparing numbers stored in the Alterable Strings, or are you checking positions along with Strings? Either way, I could probably make an example for you.

I am checking positions(X,Y) between two (or more) of the same object with different alterable string A's. (Though what Nick said could be useful too...)

Oh, yes. I got a bit excited there :(

I'm working on an example now. I'll put it in the file archive later.
