How do I check if an object is inside another?

I'm making a game where balls have to fall in holes. The game is in top perspective and I want to check if the ball is inside the hole.

How do I do that?

Try running a check to see if the two sprites are overlapping

I don't wanna test if they are overlapping, instead if the ball is inside the hole but isn't colliding with the edge of the hole. Is that possible?

You then want to check for a "range" rather than a given position or collision.

What you want to check is that the left edge of your ball is at a greater X position than the left edge of your hole as well as the right edge of the ball at a lower X position than the right edge of the hole as well as the top edge of the ball at a greater Y than the top edge of the hole as well as the bottom edge of the ball at a lower Y than the bottom edge of the hole.

So you need all four conditions in the same event (an event can have multiple conditions).

You will likely want to use the system condition "Compare two values", using ball.x - ball.width/2 to get its left edge for example, or using directly its BBoxLeft expression (https://www.construct.net/make-games/manuals/construct-3/plugin-reference/common-features/common-expressions)

One "hack" (I think it is) I can think of, is to attach a small sprite (5x5 pixels?) to the center of the ball and a small sprite at the center of the hole.

If they overlap, the ball is in the center.

Thank you
