IS there a Check Object funtion or something similar

[cedrick9998]

Hello,

Is there a way to detect if there is an object in a specific grid coordinates? (e.g. 32 pixels in front of playable character)

when a button is pressed, the character is supposed to conjure a block of stone in front of him, but also destroys it if a block already exists. Also cannot conjure if an enemy is in front. Also, the player can conjure or destroy blocks 32 pixels below if crouching.

So far, I couldn't find a function that allows me to detect if an object exist.

Regards,

The easiest way would be just to create the object, then have a new event immediately after:

'New object' is overlapping 'whatever object' -> Destroy

This isn't the most efficient way, but it does what you ask.


The most efficient way would be to use some detector and move it about, checking for overlaps with that, and then only creating the objects that are valid.

Sounds like Solomons Key. Good luck!
