Overlap issues

This is the event that isn't working right

This is the "BlastDrone". The player is just a rectangular block.

It only works if the player is inside the blast drone's gray area, but when the player is overlapped by the blastdrone's red beam, nothing happens.

Check if the collision box is around the red beam. Is the BlastDrone just the grey bit, is it all one object?

It's all one object. I saw the hitbox and it covered the red beam too.

*shrug. Seems fine, you could share the capx I guess.

In all animation frames ?

Yes, the whole thing is the same size in all frames

The problem is under "Stage-2-Boss-Events" and Stage-2-10

Ah my first idea was right, collision is only over the head, not down over the beam. You'll have to stretch the collision box all the way down to where damage should be taken.

You never checked the collision polygon.

Watch this video from the position that i linked.

Alright, thanks. Sorry for the trouble. I took debug mode's select box as the polygon.

No trouble, as long as you understand the issue.

As a completely unrelated problem, why doesn't the shake screen function always work in the provided file?

And also, if I try to play the same sound using audio, and the same audio file was already playing, it will cut it short. Is there a way around that?
