Hi, I'm trying to use place_empty(x,y); to check to see if my player touch another instance like this

//this is the object that create event is attached to so I did like this

x +=3;
if(place_empty(object1.x, object1.y))
{
instance_destroy();
}

the only problem is my object got destroy before it even touch my object1 instancce
im new to this so please help. thank you

Looks like it's telling it: If the place is empty then it's OK to destroy.
Nothing about if you make contact or place_meeting with anything then destroy something.
