How do I prevent "touch" from touching a newly spawned objct

Hello All,

I have two sprites (red and blue).

I start with 3 red sprites on the layout. When I click on a red sprite, I want it destroyed and a blue sprite to be spawned in its place and vice versa. I tried the following:

But I end up with all blue sprites. Once they are blue, they never go back to red. If I change the order of events, the opposite happens.

I am assuming that the "touch" event is being triggered for the newly spawned object. I am right? Is there a way to prevent that?

Many thanks for the help.

Hi PixelPower,

Thanks for the reply.

What I wanted was:

When I click on RED, it turns Blue and when I click on BLUE it goes back to RED, etc.

Your CAPX file changes BLACK to BLUE but it doesn't allow the change back to BLACK

I amnot sure if you were able to see the image I posted (it doesn't seem to show on my browser!!)

Have a look here:

There you go!!

I could do it another way with variables but wouldn't have time to explain it. There seems to be a nasty little bug on the touch event, causes both sprites to receive the touch event. I located the bug and put the wait command . You can change the wait command to .5 so it will be faster.

I could bypass the bug with a variable but wouldn't have time to explain it. I am working on something now, Let me know if it works for you.

Thank you very much PixelPower,

I changed the wait to zero seconds and it still worked fine and fast.

I also tried the same with a "mouse" object instead of the "touch" object and it was the same.

Is this a bug or is it the way the system works? I am new at this so I don't want to report something unless I know for sure it is a bug rather than a misunderstanding of the way the system works.

Thanks again
