How do I collide on different layers?

[Outcast]

What is the best way to have a collision with an object that is on a different layer?

[arfa]

I might be wrong but I don't think you do. My understanding is that collisions have to happen on the same layer.

If that is the case you could have an object on layer 1 following an object on layer2

You can move the object to that layer at the start of that loop, ie at the top of the events, and then move it back to its own layer at the bottom of the events.

Yeah if you use the layer object you can move objects back and forth between layers, and do what Pixelthief suggested.

[Pixelthief]

Can't you do it straight from that object's properties, I mean, object->order->move to layer

[Looki]

Pixelthief, that's what I suggested him to do on Gwerdy Chat. Not sure why he didn't do it. :confused:

[Shawn]

Really? Well I guess I'm dumb because I've been using the layer object for a long time and never bothered to check the object's properties lol.

I think Pixeltheif was referring to right clicking on the object in the frame editor, but actually this functionality is done in the event editor - without the layer object

[Shawn]

Actually, now that I think of it, I'm not sure if I ever used the layer object to move objects between layers (can you even do that with the layer object?). I pretty much only ever used it to hide and show layers. Maybe I'm totally remembering wrong.
