How do I Pick 'other' instance while overlapping

Hi,

I have this bit of code:

I want instances of itself to be an 'obstacle' - I need some code where if object a is overlapping object b and also overlapping object b(not self) then do action

This is all in aid of having AI that avoid obstacles and also each other - but I don't want to use Boids.

Any help greatly appreciated as always

I usually handle collisions with other instances of the same object by creating a family with just that object in it and call it "other". Then use events like this:

For each sprite

sprite is overlapping other

for each other

system compare: other.uid !=sprite.uid

--- handle collision

thanks R0J0hound was looking for something similar.. gave me some good ideas!

Thank you R0J0hound - that works
