How do I stop touch conditions to overlap with each other?

What I intend to make:

On object 1 tapped -> Trigger event nr. 1

On object 2 tapped -> Trigger event nr. 2

What my issue is:

If object 1 is overlaping object 2, both events get triggered. How do i solve this?

add a new condition

if you right click on the events you will see an "invert" option.

on object 1 tapped

is not overlaping object 2 >>>> action

else >>>>> action

on object 2 tapped

is not overlaping object 1 >>>> action

What I intend to make:

On object 1 tapped -> Trigger event nr. 1

On object 2 tapped -> Trigger event nr. 2

What my issue is:

If object 1 is overlaping object 2, both events get triggered. How do i solve this?

If both objects are overlapping how do you filter wich one to pick?? wich conditions do you use to filter it??

if you can post a capx will be easier to check

Turaco see if this can help you, it picks the top object

Turaco You could do something like this, using the Zindex for each sprite:

It starts to get a bit complex if you have multiple sprites - you may have to shift the overlap check into a function and pass the UIDs.

Well it's not a solution because if they're not overlapping it will just pick the one with higher Z which isn't necessary the one I'm clicking on.

What I did was create a global variable "Touch_Enabled". After I click on something - > Touch_Enabled set to 0, wait 0.1 seconds -> Touch_Enabled set to 1.

My problem wasn't the overlapping actually. "Tap on object" already picks it only if its on top. The problem was when I click on Object 1 and it destroys my Object 1 = it triggers the Object 2 underneath it. Weird but whatever

Weird but whatever

Variables, use Instance variables and simply create a specific loop for events in whatever order.

Or if you have preference use greater than and sort of 'order' your objects from highest to lowest.

Variables fix all.

A capx would be handy.

It wouldn't solve it. As I said before, even if I add "If Object 1 is overlapping Object 2 - inverted" it doesn't fix it. Because the event triggers after Object 1 is deleted on click, meaning the Object 2 is selected in the same tick

Use only 1 trigger.

Variables

overlap- True if theres an overlap, false if not.

So, can you not say that when overlapping set var overlap to true, select object 1?

Or instead of select object 1 just use a random or whatever you wish.
