alice-teacher Can a project modified in NetBeans be re-opened by Alice 3.4?

[Don Slater]

Mourad,
I have created and attached a world in which the big bad wolf responds to the alien colliding with it from any angle, forward, backward, left, right. What it will show, however is that the alien has to completely clear the collision zone (essentially the intersection of the two bounding boxes for the objects) for another collision to register…

You may have some success using the Proximity event which allows you to modify the collision distance zone somewhat.

Please let me know if you are finding something different with your world, perhaps even send us an example if you are not seeing the same thing.

All the best,
Don Slater

Alice Project

It seems that the collision is not detected when the object is moving backwards through the same obstacle. Is there a way to detect collision if the object is approaching the obstacle from any angle?
