How do I code if touching through different sprites? For example, one sprite features the border but another has the image the border is bordering. So how do I code the character of the game for an ‘'if touching border then’' across sprites

I don’t know what you mean. Could you please elaborate more, or explain a your problem in a different way? I’d like to help if I can!

I don't follow.

Okay

In the particular project I'm referring to there's a maze and I want to code the character in the game so that it cant walk off the maze platform. As a result I made another sprite called border and coded it this way:

if <touching [ BORDER] ?> then
switch costume to [ GAME OVER PLAY AGAIN?]
end

after the switch costume, I inserted a restarting code but its irrelevant to this topic I think

However, this code hasn't worked. Do you guys have any ideas?

I didn’t have time to analyze all the code, but from what I can tell you need to put the if block in a forever loop.
If this doesn’t work, let me know and I’ll check the code again. (Side note: why do you have a “touching border” script in the border sprite?)

Oh dang. i ddnt realize fsr it was in the border place only… don't ask how lol

Yeah, thanks ill check that out now

It’s not in the border place only. There’s also a touching border script in the player sprite. That’s the script I believe needs to be in a forever loop.

You misunderstand me. I meant that I didn't realize I hadn't put it in the character sprite.

There was one in the character sprite. It was under a broadcast hat block. There was just also one in the border sprite.

Oh, what? Im confused sorry

In the character sprite, there was this script:

when I receive [start v]
if <touching [BORDER v]?> then
go to x:(271) y:(-116)
end

And the if should be in a forever loop.

Ohh okay. I'll do that

So

sorry to everyone whos been helping me with this. I accidentally deleted all the code for the character sprites and it might take me some days to get back on track.

Ctrl Z, maybe?

I saved the delete. I'm crying ;-; my assignment is sooooooooooo late already

Oh no. Do you have any files of older versions saved?

yeah but its so old it'll be reversing my work. I am beginning to work on redoing it

Ahh… maybe make backups this time?

Yes, Iv redone it and made a backup so you could add whatever you intended now?

It's just the thing I said earlier, putting the if in a forever loop.
