Fear not, there is a function for this - character.IsCollidingWithChar I believe. You can look it up in the manual if you require more details.

I'm still using earlier version 2.62... cant find that function in manual...

found: AreCharactersColliding.... just need to know how to implement it...
main character is named Red Pants...

Ive used this:

}
if (AreCharactersColliding(REDPANTS,GUFF)==0)
ChangeCharacterView(REDPANTS,11);

global script accepts it but character does not change view..

2.62? Sorry, I can't help you with that version, I know nothing of it. Maybe someone else has more knowledge. Or you might consider upgrading to the newer version. It's pretty awesome.

Where did you put that code?

Also, yes, I too recommend moving on to at least 2.72, better 3.x, especially if you've just started using AGS.
If not, familiarize yourself with the new code style of 2.7x, then the new editor introduced with 3.x.

The main reason being that in the meantime, a ton of bugs have been removed, and a ton of new features added.

For AreCharactersColliding(), you have to check whether the value is non-zero for a collision, also, where did you put that two lines in the script?

Where in your global script did you add it? That's what I have asked.

Did you add it to the repeatedly execute function or elsewhere?

There's a manual that comes with AGS. Just press F1.
