Touching Any Sprite Boolean

IronBit_Studios

Basically, what my idea is is that there should be an “Touching any sprite” Boolean, because for some projects that involve just touching a sprite in general (Like a scanner that checks for sprites), it takes a long time to write “if touching Sprite2 or if touching Sprite3, etc.” I think it would look like this:

<touching [any sprite v] ?>

There should also be a reporter called

(sprites touching :: sensing)

I'm noticing a lot of people are asking the same thing-

Well,

Awesome! Thanks!

That already exists:

<touching [sprite name v] ?>

I know that, my concept is a block that can detect if any sprite is touched. As I mentioned before, it's a hassle to write “if touching SpriteName” for projects that require detecting for many sprites.

Bump!

Bring Up My Post, or putting a forum thread at the front again, because most forums/discussions are organized chronologically.

IronBit_Studios

Bump- I need support!

You don't write it just to let you know, there also already is a block.

CosmicSans

Support! This would be great for so many things!

little_kitten

Cool idea! Otherwise you'd… well

<<touching [ v] ?> or <<touching [ v] ?> or <<touching [ v] ?> or <<touching [ v] ?> or <<touching [ v] ?> or <<touching [ v] ?> or <<touching [ v] ?> or <<touching [ v] ?> or < > > > >> > >  > >

I know what you mean, it would save time. Good idea! But there is a solution. Just make all your sprites so that they have a certain color (like green) on the edge and then have something like:

<touching color [#00FF00] ?>

Hope it helps until your idea or something like it comes out!

But then you are limited in what your sprites can look like.

Really? Can you please post that in Scratchblock form for me, because it's not on the Scratch on my computer.

In what situation would this be useful for?

Not a bad idea. Support!

Instead of that big loop thingy, you can put touching main sprite in all other sprites that you'd need the main sprite to touch. Still you'd have to put an if touching main sprite in the other 100 sprites, so support.

<touching [sprite v] ?>

I see what you're suggesting now, support.
I thought you were simply just wanting a block that sensed a sprite.
