Hello everybody. Just a quick question.
Just wondering, is there any 2D command for detecting collision between sprite, in which the command will provide which sprite is colliding with a specified sprite?

Let's say that I have 1 player sprite, and 10 other object sprite.
I want to use a command so it will tell me which sprite is colliding with my player sprite.
Now the normal way is to cycle through all the 10 object sprites and checking their collision with my player sprite one-by-one, but I imagine this would be slightly slow if there's too many sprites to check.
But with a built in command to do just that, it might be faster.

Is there such a command?

You might be able to use the physics commands for that. Check them out here.

Altough they require you to use physics for the collision.

Otherwise you might have to loop through a subset of your sprites and only check the ones that are close to the sprite you want to track more closly.
