*Property* of *ObjectName* does not work with variables.
The block in the image above just seems to output 0 all the time, even if you input a valid object name, or try with any of the properties. Firstly I was going to use this in my shadow engine, no luck, and now an advanced collision engine, still no luck. Is this a glitch or was this never meant to work?

You can't put a variable in it, because a variable doesn't really have an x position.

No - I mean like the variable defining an object. -.-
Say for example you made a sprite and called it "Cat" and then made another. In the second you could put <touching *variable*> if the variable was set to "Cat" and it would work ("you can't exactly touch a variable lolol"), whereas putting a variable in that block just freezes the functionality of the block.

it works for me 
, just so you know, that method is case sensitive
