Touched Message

Is there something special I should know about the "touched" message?

I want to trigger a thing to move from frame 0 to frame 1 when the player jumps and lands on it. The parent template is _zwalkstructure. If I change the message to "crossed" triggered by a nearby adjoin it works perfectly, so the frames and so forth do work.

Any thoughts?

An object or surface will send 'Touched' when it is touched. That is, when the thing/surface is vertical and you walk up against it. A object/surface will send 'Entered' if you step on it.

The solution? Use bolth.

Code:

Entered:
Touched:
 
//code here...
 
Stop;

Bingo, problem solved.. [http://forums.massassi.net/html/biggrin.gif]

Thanks, I was never aware of that vertical/horizontal distinction for those messages.

Hrm, its not neccessarily related to verticle or horizonal. It is whiter it is touched, or stepped on.
