A with X Collisioning A', making A' have X

I want to make an event that makes an uninfected family member get infected when it collides with an infected member of the same family.

So I have something like:

If Enemy psn == 1

Enemy collides Enemy: Enemy psn = 1

But apparently it just sets psn=1 for the already poisoned enemy... how can I solve this?

I had a play with the idea and found a way that works

Edit:

Gah! it didn't work on mine, because in the comparison I need to evaluate if enemy psn is different from enemy psn, and apparently it just evaluates agains itself...

I will try making them into two families just to see if it works, but I suppose it won't (I have many different enemy sprites, so that's why the object solution didn't work)

(I have many different enemy sprites, so that's why the object solution didn't work)

You could fix that by controlling the sprites with a different object than the sprite itself and all sprites use the same object, then the object picking should work.

Eh? o.o

It happens the same thing that happened with the first cap, in the comparison, one is an object, the other is a family. In my game, both are the same family.

PS: Beautiful cap, it doesn't solve my problem, but I'll keep it xDDD

Both examples run off of what you describe, so all I can suggest is post a cap, and we'll see whats up there.

Cap is heavy, and my (stupid) internet will surely fail... let me try to tell you the problem just once before I go somewhere else to upload it, ok?

I have 3 objects (and plan to be more) with different speeds and sprites. They are part of the Enemy family. I have another object called gas. When gas overlaps Enemy, Enemy's private variable psn goes to 1.

I want the poison to be contagious, so when any Enemy (regardless of object/sprite) touches another Enemy (regardless of object/sprite).

Your caps assume a sprite hits a family, so that won't work, since I would have to make 3 events, one for each sprite object, which can be fairly easy now, but not when I put like 15 enemies.

That's why I have a if Enemy that has psn==1 overlaps Enemy, then Enemy psn=1. And the problem is, apparently it just changes the Enemy that already has psn==1.

I'm sorry for not uploading the cap. I will try to make it in another new cap and upload it, thank you very much to everyone that is trying to help me ;___;

You can do that via two families, but if I were you I would go with multiple instances with different frames.

Families can be a real pain when you start mixing.

Eh? o.o

Here's a cap showing what I meant.

Edit: Decided to try it with different behaviours moving it towards the mouse and it seems there's an issue with how I did it. Trying to fix it atm.

I wish I can do that, but enemies should walk at different speeds, for example ;___; I'll do it your way, object per object, until I find a workaround xD

Thank you very much! n.n
