In Scratch, there’s a helpful block that detects if a sprite is touching a specific color. I’m attempting to code this into my game, but nothing seems to work. Has anyone coded this before, or otherwise have knowledge on how it could be done?

Instead of using the if the sprite is touching the color block, you can use the if is sprite overlapping with othersprite. Scratch can have a lot of their own unique blocks and ways of coding that could be impractical in other engines.

I think they want it for color coded hitboxes without making hitbox sprites
