Scratch

So I spent like 4 hours today working on a project.  Now what I wanted to happen was have some projectiles fire, and when they hit they stamp some debris wherever they are.  The projectiles move quickly (jump 50 pixels every frame) so often they would end up stopping past the object they hit, if you know what I mean.  This has annoyed me a lot in many projects but this time I had found a solution and wanted to implement it.  What you do is go:

if <touching?>
move [-1] steps
end

Then you have to put a whole bunch of them together so that it moves the desired amount, like so:

if <touching?>
move [-1] steps
if <touching?>
move [-1] steps
if <touching?>
move [-1] steps
if <touching?>
move [-1] steps
if <touching?>
move [-1] steps
if <touching?>
move [-1] steps
if <touching?>
move [-1] steps
if <touching?>
move [-1] steps
if <touching?>
move [-1] steps
if <touching?>
move [-1] steps
end
end
end
end
end
end
end
end
end
end

And so on and so forth.  But when I put together two giant pieces of 32 and 32, blam!  4 hours of work down the drain.

Just to make sure, I re-created this in a new project and it works every time.  So be careful!
