Random text position without collisions

Hi all, I search in the forum for a solution but nothing.

I have to position some text (in my case numbers) randomly on the screen. This work fine. The problem is that sometimes my numbers overlap each other... like in the picture...

Is there a check collision like for the sprites? I don't find anything for the text.

Thank'you!

Just create invisible sprites that match the size of the text and check those for collisions. There was something to that effect done a few days ago, but cannot remember the thread... if I do I'll point you to it.

Yes, thanx procrastinator, I understand what you mean and I already create a sprite that is created where the random text goes. <img src="smileys/smiley2.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

I posted an example capx for a request in another thread almost exactly like this recently. Since you've already got the sprites set up, it's just a matter of testing collisions, destroying and recreating overlapping instances.

I found a similar solution, but you give me a trick in the "repeat 10 times" sub-event! :-)
