SOLVED Will place_meeting work with child objects?

[TangerineDog]

If I check for only one object in my collision script but want the same thing to happen upon collision with other objects as well...
will making them children of that one object do the trick?

Very unexciting code example:

if(place_meeting(x+hspeed, y, obj_parentcollisionobject))

Yes, for the purposes of checking for collisions, existence, with statement etc. parent object covers all descendant objects as well.
