Ok hear me out. If you have something on 1 layer and something on the other the thing on the previous/ next layer should not be able to touch right? idk if this is possible

it is likely possible but what wouldn't this break some platformers and physics engines or am I getting it wrong?

i guess it could but it would also help alot

Each item has it's own layer, so this would make the “if touching block” not work any more.

I think it could have something like this

Set layer to [ v]

then it would have back middle front or add new. that way they wouldnt have to be on different ones

are you saying that the green paper isn't touching the red paper because it's on a different layer?
touching in scratch works with the same logic. you can imagine the sprites as pieces of paper stacked on top of each other. if they overlap they would be touching, no matter the layer.

true, but for different reasons.
maybe it'll make more sense like this:

shape C is touching Shape A despite being on different layers.

It seems like the topic is just about adding 3D features to Scratch, so I don't think there is coming to be a change.

This image shows greatly why and how it makes sense. If Scratch is 2D, all of those are obviously touching, but if it's 3D, maybe none of them would be touching? In my opinion it's just adding 3D features to Scratch.

imagine them as pieces of paper(but having the same shape). it would be touching in real life, wouldn't it? I rest my case.
also, this would break many projects, and doesn't seem to have any clear benefit.

TL: DR for no support:
this would literally make all sprites unable to touch each other

either that or z fighting
