Hello, good morning/afternoon/evening! I'm using a collision rectangle to identify other object instances around the room, and, while there is any of those specific objects touching/being inside the rectangle, the main character (whose posseses the collision rectangle) will change a variable...

I wanna know about the difference between them, is that variables are attached to the object only, and you can't use it in another object and global variables are available across all objects? I don't know if I am right.

Good morning/afternoon/evening! :potato: I have many instances in a game called oBomber. Also I have an object called oTank, which has a range (collision rectangle). Once oBomber gets inside the oTank's collision rectangle, it should lose HP (to make it simpler, as for testing, now it just...

Hey, basically, I want to make it so that if an enemy object with a certain variable (effect) set to 1 comes near enough to another enemy object whose var is still 0, then that enemy object's var 'effect' also becomes 1. Sort of that the effect spreads to all nearby enemies from each other. I...
