Hi! I've searched what I can but can't find something specific to this. I have a (super goofy) prototype here: drive.google.com/drive/folders/1-GX3VO4Bex-MM3VfrNyrQxe7V3jp8hp6

I want turrets to show green while placing atop the wall, but red when trying to place elsewhere. Line 31 on the Event Sheet. But it's almost like collision is suspended during drag/drop. While this behavior makes sense, is there a way for me to check for collision and make this work?

Thanks in advance!

Change your events 31-33 to this:

Also, you need to add "Turret is NOT dragging" condition to other events, which are setting firing/idle animation.

dop2000 thank you for your answer. I did try this but the turret still doesn't change color. Did I miss something?

Like I said, other events may override the animation to "idle". You need to add a condition "not dragging" to them.

Also, there is a mistake on your screenshot. You have:

If NOT overlapping other turrets OR overlapping buildable area: set red animation

you need:

If overlapping other turrets OR NOT overlapping buildable area: set red animation
