Sprite stops overlap

[GameGod]

Is there a way to make a tilemap where when you touch the ground you lose, but if you touch the ground while overlapping another sprite, you don’t?

(I don’t want to make the sprite a tile)

Something like this?

[GameGod]

I tried that, but it didn’t work.

By the way the Overlap sprite is moving.

Can you share your code?

Raft

The game is to stay on the rafts.

If you have multiple projectiles, you’ll need to loop over all of them:

Thanks!

Your reply should answer a question I have here, I just wanted to check.

Sprite overlap and tiles

I am working on a remake of the retro classic ‘Frogger’. [Arcade Game: Frogger (1981 Konami)] I have a question regarding to the overlapping of sprites and the position of tiles. My question relates to the part of the the game where the players jumps onto the logs moving across the water. I know I can check when the player overlaps a log, but I’m not know sure how to check when it moves off. I am only using block code. If you have any ideas I would love to hear for you.

Yep, that will work!

Another question if I may please related to the logs. I have a tile map and the logs have different widths. Since I don’t want a log four tiles wide to disappear if it hits a wall, does that mean I have to place 4 single tile logs next to each other? Do any two sprites not overlap if one of them is a ghost? Or is that dependent upon how you set the ‘on sprite’ overlap event?

log is ghost
on sprite of kind ‘log’ overlaps sprite of kind ‘player’ (this will not work, right)
on sprite of kind ‘player’ overlaps sprite of kind ‘log’ (will this work?)

They will not overlap if one sprite is a ghost

Thanks for the tip. I should have just tested my theory.
