Hello, I want to create an event where it restarts the layout after sprite1 and sprite2 collide/overlap for 3 seconds.

I know how to get it to restart after the instant collison but dont know how to make it only restart after 3 seconds.

thanks

Using the timer behaviour would work..

Sprite1 on collision with sprite2

start timer for 3 seconds

sprite1 is not overlapping sprite2

stop timer

on timer

restart layout

Quick one from the top of my head.

Create "collisionTime" variable. When objects collide start counter, and add 1 to "collisionTime" every second. If collision breaks then clear "collisionTime" if not then restart layout when counter = 3.
