Issues with the touch sensing between sprites

everlina100

Hi everyone,

I'm having with this project: http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/28493660/
I want to be able to ‘game over’ when sprite 3 touches sprite 7.
I've tried lots of different things but the sprites just don't seem to recognize each other when they touch and the game keeps on going.
If someone could take a look that would be great.

To do this type of detection, you need to forever, sense if touching sprite 7 on sprite 3.

when I receive [start game v]
forever
    
if <touching [sprite 7 v] ?> then
broadcast [game over v]
stop [script v]
    
end

end

Replace this with your current script.

My “..” and “…” are not spelling mistakes, it means that they are ways of telling someone that I can continue more about it and that the sentence isn't ended the best way. I like putting new indents and lines so I can split up what I am talking about.

Unfortunately, i've tried the script and renamed the sprites and it still not working.

I'll keep thinking.

Thanks for your help.

Renaming sprites is for convenience and knowing what is what

Have you made this in sprite 3?

Your problem is that sprite 7 needs "when I receive game over, stop other scripts in sprite.

The sprite is receiving the game over broadcast, but the game over broadcast doesn't actually do much of anything.
