Dragging fast... Precise Collision ?

Hi All,

I'm messing around with 2 sprites trying to understand how can I make each one STOP when colliding each other no matter what speed I will be dragging it...

Should I use Solid? should I not? I don't know.

What is the most efficient way to do it? or easiest? or basically any way will be interesting for me to learn how I can achieve that.

In case you want to show it to me, here is the project:

Thanks ahead!

One way would be to loop between the previous and current positions and check for overlaps there.

If you’d like an algorithm, this should work, or at least some variation of this would be acceptable.

Global number x0=0
Global number y0=0
Global number x1=0
Global number y1=0
Global number steps=0

Sprite: is dragging
Or
Sprite: on drop
— Set x1 to sprite.x
— set y1 to sprite.y
— set steps to max(abs(x1-x0),abs(y1-y0))
— repeat steps+1 times
— — sprite: set x to lerp(x0,x1,loopindex/steps)
— — sprite: set y to lerp(y0,y1,loopindex/steps)
— — sprite: overlaps sprite2
— — — stop loop
— — — sprite: set x to lerp(x0,x1,(loopindex-1)/steps)
— — — sprite: set y to lerp(y0,y1,(loopindex-1)/steps)

Sprite: on drag start
Or
Sprite: is dragging
— set x0 to sprite.x
— set y0 to sprite.y

It's easier to use BBBox** expressions.

Thanks for sharing your solutions, I appreciate it.

I will give it a a try soon!

Any other/extra solutions are welcome, it's always nice to learn from different options.
