Sprite not detecting overlapping?

I want this sprite's opacity to be turned down to 50% if it is touching the border sprite. But it isn't detecting overlap between the two sprites, and the events aren't triggered.

If I change the event to on collision with object, it does work, but the sprite will not go back to 100% opacity after the collision.

Both sprites have collisions enabled. Border is a solid object. Player2 has the follow and 8direction behaviors applied to it, because I have it following the player sprite around.

I am able to get the effect I want if I recreate the same event with a different sprite. So I don't know why it isn't working.

I'd appreciate any help. Thank you.

I don't have any other events that control opacity. Here's what I have for the collision event.

The 8-direction behavior prevents you from overlapping solid objects. Therefore, it will not work directly.

You can attach an invisible sprite with a sensor that is a few pixels larger than the character, and it will work.

And for the opposite to set it back to 100 ?

Can you explain the gameplay of the game and what the border is ? Maybe there is a better way to achieve what you want.

This worked! Thank you so much.

Hello, lionz

Are you the one who always negatively evaluated my posts? I noticed a long time ago in which topics we answer together, I always get a minus in karma. Do you have a problem with this?

I gave you a thumbs up, because this was funny LOL
