Alterable values....

I see what you mean.

Gibbon, I'm sorry, I don't want to be mean, I hope you accept my apologize.

For your problem: I was thinking about it the last 20 minutes and I don't have a solution yet but I have an idea.

What about range comparison. You could get the distance between object with ID4 and ID8.

I suggest you use global values. Xof4/Yof4 and Xof8/Yof8

ID of active = 4
-->
set Xof4 = x(object)
set Yof4 = Y(object)

same for ID8.

Now you have 4 numbers and can get the distance between those two objects

Sqr( ((>X Point 1<->X Point 2<) Pow 2)+((>Y Point 1<->Y Point 2<) Pow 2) )

Now you just need to define the events that are triggered if the distance is under or over a certain value.

This is just an idea you could try.

Hi MaVado, no need to apologise, it "sounds" such an easy thing to do, but for some reason isnt! lol.

Now to you idea, its a good one, and the only one i have thought of to that would work... sort of!

What i mean is, it will work, but it will only work for that actualy X&Y you state, so am i correct in thinking that the collision will only be triggered when the two X&Y (1 pixel size) collide? and not the actual object?

Thanks
Andy

Well this is not a collision thing. It's a range comparison.

If distance from object4 to object8 is lower or equal 32 (insert your distance here) then trigger the events for colision.

You "fake" the collision by value comparison. Finding the right distance may take some time.

Hmm, ill have a look into that then. Sounds like it could work.

thanks
Andy

I changed the example by CodeCannon for you.

Spot on, works a treat!
