I'm making a game where apples fall from the top of the screen and the object is catch them in a bowl at the bottom. The problem I'm running into is having the apple disappear when it touches the bowl. I can't seem to get the script to recognize when an apple has touched the bowl. I've searched up other topics that cover this, and I'm using an If control to hide the apple when it's touching the bowl. What am I missing?

The left & right arrows move the bowl from side to side.

I've fixed it for you:

You needed to put the script that checks if the apple is touching the bowl in a separate script and also have it in a forever loop.

Hope I helped!

Thank you. Much appreciated.

Why does it work as its own script but not when combined with the falling script? I'm new at this and still learning these nuances.

If you’re putting the if statement in the same code block as the “glide”, it won’t work because Scratch compiles the code top down - it won’t detect the if clause if it’s currently gliding (for 1.7s). I also note you need a forever block around the “if touching edge”

Gotcha. Thank you.

Yeah, the determining what happens when the apple reaches the bowl or the bottom edge is a work-in-progress. Currently learning about how clones may help me here…

No thank you u didn’t help me!
