Two objects overlapping an object?

[teddyq]

I'm sure there is some really simple solution for this little problem of mine, but anyway...how can you detect if two duplicates/clones (created at runtime) of object A are overlapping object B at the same time?

[ClickerGuy]

Maybe toss in a counter and have

1. if object A is overlaping B , (limit it to once per loop)
then add one to counter.


2. if object A is NOT overlapping, set counter to "0", (limit once per loop)

and make

3. if counter = 2,(limit once per loop) then do *whatever*


???

Not sure what you mean by "at the same time", (1 above may have trouble with that)

[Dynasoft]

It depends on whether there are multiple Bs.

If not, then:
Always set alt value of B to 0
A overlapping B: Add one to alt value of B
counter contains number overlapping.

The Select Object could help too.
(A overlapping B, set counter to NumSelected(A))

I don't think either of these work with qualifiers.

[DistantJ]

I think there's also the object select extension with a "number of objects which met the conditions" expression you could use.

[Dynasoft]

I said that.

Ok, thanks. I'll try to figure out something. I'm using both multiple object A's and object B's with qualifiers, so it seems to be a little trickier.
