Does anyone know the difference, if any, betweeen dbSpriteHit() and dbSpriteCollision()? The former uses terminology of "impacting" whereas the latter reports if sprites overlap.

Another addition to that question if I may:

What is the difference between dbObjectHit and dbObjectCollision?

For my understanding, Hit means it only checks the moment when two objects impact/collide to each other. After that, if the two objects are overlapping, Hit return 0.

Collision means it will check whether two objects are overlapping to each other. It will return a positive integer while two objects are still overlapping.

Oshhhhh! That's going to take some thinking then.

Thanks.

The function of dbObjectHit could prove quite useful in some instances then...

Wait so tell me if I have this right... dbObjectHit will return 1 when the two objects FIRST collide in the loop... The next loop it will return 0 even though the two are still overlapping... When they are no longer overlapping dbObjectHit "resets" and then will return 1 if they overlap again... and then it loops over again... Is that somewhat correct?
