Lo all,
It's been a while since i have been using DB, just getting back into the swing of things. Anyway i gotta be quick cus im at work

The sprite collision command returns wether a sprite has collided with another sprite e.g sprite collision (1,0) so if sprite 1 collides with any sprite it returns 1. Is there a command to return the number of the sprite that collided with sprite 1.

Nice to be back all. x-d

You'd have to do something like this:

Thanks for the idea Andrew, i need it to be done without knowing how many sprites to check.

I suppose i could put it into a while loop -



Would this work? (Provided all of the sprites were numbered consecutively with no gaps )

Becaus that code would just return a 1 or 0 depending on wether a collision had been made. I want the function to return the number of the sprite that the target sprite collided with.
