what i mean is like: color red north
Any help and a example script?
i need it for this: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/109570569/#editor (don't mind the ugly coloring, it is due to be changed to different shades of black)

One way is to have multiple costumes that cover North, East, South and West of the sprite and you can switch to each costume in turn and do a touch check to work out if touching above, below, left or right. You could add more costume if you wanted more accuracy but would also slow things down.

Thanks! I think saving the position of the object and subtly changing it might work a little better (your post help me come up with that)

You could use sensor sprites also like so https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/109569917/ no matter what color or colors the level is you are sensing the sprite not the color.

You could also make each side of the sprite a slightly different color and use a

if <color [#00ff00] is touching [#0000ff] ?> then
    
end

block.

Hope this helps!

I think it would be hard to do this with color, but you might be able to do it with sprites.
Assume you have sprite A (mario) touching sprite B (a turtle). Assume you want mario to die when touching the Turtle, unless Mario jumps on the Turtle.

Two options,

(1) What if you say,
if Mario is touching Turtle, then,
If Y position of Sprite A > Y position of Sprite B, then
Kill Turtle
Otherwise, Kill Mario

The would require you to know where Mario and the Turtles are at all time. It might allow Mario to jump a little late and still be above B, and kill the Turtle.

(2) if you want mario to only kill turtles when he is jumping (or even on the downward part of a jump, you might be able, create a status “is Jumping”, and have it normally at 1, but change to 2 when jumping (or when moving down jumping) and use a similar logic to above.
if Mario is touching Turtle, then,
If Mario “is jumping” = 2, then
Kill Turtle
Otherwise, Kill Mario

Hi! Thanks for trying to help. However, you just necroposted, as this topic is over 4 years old! Please check the date of the topic before posting.
Scratch on!

i tried this

when green flag clicked
forever
if <<(y position) < (thing y)>
  > then broadcast [ loose]


else

end
end

i hope i did that right
