Turning collide on/off

I have an actor that is shot towards a wall. When it hits the wall it bounces off. All is well. The wall has small slots in it. I want to fill these slots with another actor, that toggles collision.

Essentially I want to touch the actor to turn on the image and the collide behavior, then click it again to turn off the image and have no colliding. How do I do this?

    I would suggest using a boolean attribute and placing your collide behavior inside a rule that says

    When self.attribute is true
    --Collide with actor

    Then just turn the attribute back and forth between true and false for when you want the collisions on or not.

    I'm still having the same problem.

    Either collide works with an image with alpha=1 or alpha=0
    Or collide does not work with image alpha=1 or alpha=0

    Let me clarify more.

    Actor-ball is the moving object it has collide with actor-walls
    Actor-slot is an actor that will fill the slots in the walls.
    I have a boolean attribute called SlotFilled

    By default Actor-slot is set to color.alpha=0
    Behavior-ACTOR DOES NOT COLLIDE WITH SLOT
    game.Attribute-SlotFilled=false

    I want a rule for Actor Slot
    when touch is pressed
    change attribute-game.SlotFilled=true
    change attribute: self.color.alpha=1
    Behavior-Collide: with actor of type Actor-ball

    Then an additional rule that says when touch is pressed
    and Attribute-game.SlotFilled=True
    change attribute-game.SlotFilled=false
    change attribute: self.color.alpha=0
    Behavior-Actor-ball DOES NOT COLLIDE WITH SLOT
