Direction of collision?

is there a way to get the direction of a collision?

I know it would be as simple a angle(self.X,self.Y,other.X,other.Y)

but other isn't a valid expression

Get the sprites angle. it is SpriteName.Angle if you use it in an expression.

Hope that is what you are asking.

well I was looking to turn it into a function so I can reuse it

however if I define it by name it wouldn't be reusable

I was wanting to address it via the collision event so I can somehow return the object that is colliding with me

If you're using the on collision event you specify the type to check for collision with, so you could use the angle() expression. Just use the other object type instead of other.

Or if you make a family, call it other, and then use an event like this:

Sprite: on collision with other

That way you can use your expression exactly. Also this is the recommended way to handle collisions between two objects of the same type.

k I'll try it

family's are just a bad way around it

It just makes it harder to understand
