i'm remaking the classic asteroids game, and I have like, 15 total asteroids and if one of them touches the spaceship it will blow up. I just need to know how would I do this:

if <touching [an asteroid??? v] ?> then
switch costume to [blown_up_ship v]
end

I just don't know how I would use an if then block without making the test seem like it's going on forever

Bro, please share the game link.

what are you going to check

clones broadcast a message when they touch the spaceship?

Perhaps a script with wait until touching spaceship?

I think you can replace the code with this:

when green flag clicked
forever
if <touching [Astreoid v] ?> then
switch costume to [blown_up_ship v]
stop [this script v]
end
end

or if you are using clones just replace the “When green flag clicked” with “When I start as a clone”:

when I start as a clone
forever
if <touching [Astreoid v] ?> then
switch costume to [blown_up_ship v]
stop [this script v]
end
end

UwU So he can see how To create the Code Scripts -_-

from what I know a sprite doesn’t detect touching another sprite’s clones. this means the clones need to be the ones sensing the touch.

therefore have the clones broadcast a message to the spaceship when said clones detect they’re touching it. off that broadcast, the rocket can then explode.
