Complete Overlap

[Jaffob]

Is it possible to test if an object is completely overlapping (inside) another object?

[nivram]

Are the objects the same size?

If the objects are identical, then just test if their coordinates are the same.

If they are different, you could test how far from the center of the big object the little object is (Clickteam Movement Controller can do all the work for you) and if its within a certain amount, that means it's inside it!

[Czentnar]

You can also use detectors: create an active object that looks like the "border" of the bigger object. Then, set the position of this detector always to the big active object. If the smaller object overlaps with the big active object + it does not overlap with the border, then you've tested the completely overlapping!

You could do this (object 1 is object that object 2 is inside of):

• X of left side of object 1 < X of left side of object 2
• X of right side of object 1 > X of right side of object 2
• Y of top of object 1 < Y of top of object 2
• Y of bottom of object 1 > Y of bottom of object 2

If all of these conditions are true, object 2 is inside object 1!

EDIT: Possible Flaw: if you use this method, the shape of the objects will not affect the outcome... For example, look at this picture:

This would still think the square was inside the "T". You can still use this method if the shape doesn't matter, though.

This might work for you.
