When a sprite touches another, I want a variable to go up in value by just one. However, because they’re still touching, the variable keeps going up after the initial contact. How can I stop the variable from accumulating value after the first contact? Thanks in advance.

Just tell it to wait until it's not touching the sprite any more before it adds another value, like this:

Code:

When green flag clicked
Forever
    If <touching sprite1>
        change variable by 1
        wait until <not <touching sprite1> >
   End If
End Forever

That worked like a charm, Harakou. I sure appreciate it!

Hey I am making a scratch game... obviously.... but i need help with it! I want a sprite to be able to be clicked when 4 other sprites are touching a block. but they will not touch in a specific order.
