RE: problem with touching command

["Alain Tougas" <alain@xxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I can't be sure about what the problem is because my operating system can't
deal with the "special characters" in the name of the third procedure.
Therefore, this procedure is "not defined" and the butterfly cannot perform
the action it is supposed to do when touching the dancer.

Besides, I notice two potential issues:

1. If th ebutterfly is trying to run this "third" procedure which I don't
know the name of, then this procedure simply says: page3. You are already on
Page3. therefore, you will see NO effect for the collision.

2. The dancer has a "touching" instruction, but the "collision" will only be
detected if the dancer is moving. Collision detection does not work
"subjectively" for inanimated turtles. Only moving turtles can detect
collisions. In order to solve that, the dancer should do a FD 0. Moreover,
it should do that in "Forever" mode. Right now, it is in "Once mode".

Note that in the latest version of MicroWorlds EX (1.6), collision detection
occurs for any turtle, animated or not.

  Hello Forum!
  Here attached a project with butterfly that can go left and right, if she
is touching the dancer, there some actions happened. the dancer has in the
instruction the touching command,but even if  touching occured, nothing
happened. WHY???
