Hi! very new here.

I have a bunch of football players running in the field, and eventually one of them is going to touch the ball (projectile) and deflect it to the goal, scoring a point.

How can I know which sprite (player) last touched the ball so that I can award him the goal?

Many thx

METHOD 1 - Just have two different goal objects and each goal will award the team when it goes in. (So RedGoal awards blue, BlueGoal awards red)

METHOD 2 - add a new Global Variable (I'll call it LastTouched)

On RedPlayer Collided with Ball -> Set LastTouched to 0

On BluePlayer Collided with Ball -> Set LastTouched to 1

Then when a goal is triggered, check if LastTouched = 0. If so, award red team. Otherwise, blue team.

Note METHOD 2 means that scoring in your own goal would award the wrong team.

Note that this does assume you already have the ball-deflection thing working, this is just for awarding the correct team for scoring.

(btw I am assuming you mean football as soccer and not american football)

Let me know if any other assistance is needed.
