    Step event collision doesn't work

    So in my game, I can't use Collision Event for obj_enemy because obj_enemy needs to be marked as Solid, and that will stop it upon any collision. So I put the following in Step event to work around it: if place_meeting(x,y,obj_limit){ if escape=false{ direction = image_angle+180 } } The idea...
