RE: problem with touching command

[zehava wizman <zehavawi1@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Alain!
  thanks for your answer,the trick of writing fd 0 , did it!
  I didn't know that the 2 turtles have to be in animation mode, inorder to 
check collision.
  to the second question about running procedures in random way, if for 
example I have 4 procedures  dealing with movement for four direction and 
doing more things, the main procedure will activated the four procedures in 
randomally order.
                      thanks, Zehava

      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???
                          thanks, Zehava
