Can anyone clarify the difference between these two commands?

From what I can tell "Object Hit" will return true if the two objects collided during the last rendered frame and "Object Collision" will return true for the current frame that has yet to be rendered.

This command will return a one if the two specified 3D objects hit each other. "


I think this means if they actually touch one another.

Quote: "OBJECT COLLISION
This command will return a one if the two specified 3D objects are overlapping. "


Speaks for itself

Hope that helped.

Yeah, from what I can tell, object hit() returns a one on the first (and only the first) frame that two objects are colliding, whereas object collision() returns a one whenever the objects are colliding.

Object collision treats the object as solid also, so if object 1 is fully within object 2, it wont hit, but it will collide.
