Finding A Alterable Value From A Collision

[variant]

Hi,

I need a way to find out the "id" of the object that was collided with, is there anyway to do that?

-Thanks, Variant

Two different objects? Or same object?

[variant]

The same one, that's why it's so confusing.

-Thanks, Variant

You're probably going to need a detector on one of the objects at least. Otherwise it will be impossible to determine which object's id you are retrieving.

[variant]

How exactly would I do that?

-Thanks, Variant

You might be able to use a qualifier to differentiate between the two objects in the collision. In other words, you could give your object the qualifier "Group.0" and then do the event like this:

"My Object" overlapping "Group.0"
-->Do something with Alterable Value A of Group.0


I think that'll work. I'm not positive.

I'm not sure I'll see.

or have a detector and

* ID of ("Detector") = ID of ("object")
- Set X position of ("Detector") to X("object")
- Set Y position of ("Detector") to Y("object")

and change the collision condition to Detector overlapping object...

just make sure that the detector has the same id as its object and that it isn't overlapping the object

That works nicely, thanks!

No problem! Glad it worked
