Get background to change when two sprites touch

parq

Hi community,
I'm working on a project on scratch and I'm trying to get a backdrop to change when two sprites on screen touch each other. I've coded the backdrop to change and each sprite as well but it doesn't seem to work. I've been using broadcast to try to get it done with no luck. I think I'm missing something. Can someone help me out?

Note: I'm a starter with no previous experience with programming.

Thanks in advance,

in one sprite put

when green flag clicked
forever
    
if <touching [sprite 2] ?> then
switch backdrop to [2]    
end

end

Hi powercon5,

i tried your solution but it didnt work for me.
i currently have these blocks on my sprite (cant upload a pic atm):

when backdrop switches to <1>
show
if <touching clock> then
switch backdrop to <2>
else
forever
show
go to <mouse pointer>
hide

thanks

Easy, Put this into the sprite

when gf clicked
forever
if <touching [ sprite that you want v] ?>
//TO-DO: Insert the code you want to happen here
end
end

when green flag clicked
show

switch backdrop to [backdrop1 v]

forever
if <touching [Sprite2 v] ?> then
switch backdrop to [backdrop2 v]    
hide
broadcast [hide the other sprite v]
end
    
end

This should work, parq!
