On collision

im trying to have some actions take place while 2 objects are colliding. otherwise, some other actions will happen.

so:

on collision between obj1 and obj2: actions*

else: actions*

but what happens is the actions under the collision event only happen for a single frame, and then the else actions take place...even though the objects are still colliding. im guessing this is because the even says "on collison"; the moment it happens. this isn't very useful though. what else can i use?

overlap?

doesn't seem to work. the object that i do the colision test on is on a layer under the object it needs to colide with..which is why it's not working i guess.

edit: it does work (retested it) but it triggers the actions under the event for all the objects; even those that are not colliding

Post your .cap so people can take a look and help more. Should work fine.

this is with the "on collision". you can see the row get highlighted for a single frame when you drag the platform up to it. (click on a platform to select it, middle mouse button to "drag" it up to the row bellow/above). when you have a platform on a row, the highlight for that row should be red and its private variable "available" should = 0. availabe = 1 and the row is green when there is NO Collisions.

Hmm it's asking for a plugin I don't have, color lines I think it is? It wont load for me. :

Have you made the else event a sub condition/event, that might stop it happening all the time and only when triggered?

using this effect here:

sorry :V

Now it asking for a other .fx.

How many costum .fx are you using in your cap.

bah. hue tint is the other one im using. i thought it was standard in construct.
