Display text actor tag when collide

Chaser

trying to make an actor display the text tag of another actor that it collides with until it hits another actor then displays the text tag of that actor. I was able to do it when clicking the screen but disappeared instantly

Chaser

anybody??

you'd probably need to create rules on both actors using a few attributes:

create an attribute like ActorName

main actor
when overlaps or collides with actor of tag 'small actor'
displaytext game.ActorName

smallActor
when overlaps or collides with actor of type 'main actor'
change attribute game.ActorName to self.TextTag (or what ever the tag is)

that should work I would think, I'm doing this from memory though, so exact terminology might be off.
