Why is it not possible to test if a 9-patch object is overlapping or being overlapped by another object? This is creating a difficult work-around process to isolate a specific 9-patch instance based on where it's located in my map.
Bump!
Develop games in your browser. Powerful, performant & highly capable.
Technically it is because it is an object that is closer to the Tiled Background (that does not have collision checks) than to a sprite.
You can test if another object is overlapping it. A sprite, in its "On collision" or "Is overlapping" condition will allow you to check if the 9Patch is being overlapped.
