What am I missing here?

In the pic below. I have a ship attempting to pass through a section of the game and avoid a laser beam. But if the ship gets hit or if the ship flys through the laser beam. Im wanting it to take damage and for about 4 secs flash red and maybe flicker its alpha. Then after the 5 secs go back to being undamaged. Also during the flashing phase. it cant take more damage.

The laser in interploating down the passage way. But no matter whay I do I cant get the 2 to interact with each other.

Ive tried

if ship collides or overlays

change self color to red.

But nothing happens. I dont want any actual collision. IM relying on the overlay.

Can someone point me to a video that might cover this.

try removing the interpolation and see if that works as a test. I remember reading that interpolating objects have difficulty with overlays orcollisions, but I forget which.

do you have if ship collides or overlaps with laser
do
change self.color.red to 1?

if this is not working I think you have them in a other layer...
make another actor and place it in the same layer as the laser.
and constrain his position to the ship
good luck
