How to check if a touch is in the box?

digleto

I have a ball and a box. I move the ball by touch. I only want to be able to move the ball if I touch inside the box. I cant seem to figure out how to check if the touch is inside the box or not... help?
Thanks in advance

Simply add a rule to to the box:
If touch inside
change attribute game.whatever to 1

and on the ball:
if attribute game.whatever = 1
AND
if touch
do whatever you want

Yes, I can do that. My question is how to check if the touch is inside the box or not, sorry I did not make that clear

do exactly what Hunn said.

add to your rule, if touch inside.

you have a ton of touch rules: pressed, released, inside, outside

so to make sure you're only touching the ball when it's inside the box, create a global attribute called boxTouched or something.

then on the box, just like Hunn said, put:

if touch is pressed and touch is inside
change game.boxTouched to True

and on the ball:

if game.boxTouched is True
