I want my sprite to change costumes when it touches another sprite. So far, no problem, but there is an issue with changing back to the old costume once it again is touched by the other sprite. How would I go about this problem?

I've been stuck with this problem for three days and I'd really appreciate some help.

Can you share the code with us, so that I can see what is going on?

when green flag clicked
forever
    
wait until <touching [sprite1 v] ?>
switch costume to [costume1 v]
wait until <touching [sprite2 v] ?>
switch costume to [costume2 v]
end

Hope this helps!

maybe you are touching both sprites at the same time, so that when you touch the second, it switches then immediately switches to the other costume?

Then I would

No, then you would take out the forever loop, and do that only once

Why?

Your script should be

when green flag clicked
forever
wait until <touching [Sprite 2 v] ?>
switch to costume ((costume #) + (1))
wait until <not<touching [Sprite 2] ?>>
wait until <touching [Sprite 2 v] ?>
switch to costume ((costume #) - (1))
end

Hope this helps!

Wow! Thank you so much geniuses. You all helped me

You should close discussion because problem solved

And to prevent necroposts such as this.

I bet a whole bitcoin that Paddle2See will be the one to close this. :P
