Summary

Hey, everyone! I've been developing a project for a while now. In one scene, I want to have a creature chase the player, and once it touches them, I want a battle to ensue. Seemed simple enough. But for some reason, instead, it seems to be functioning as if it is a "player touch" event. I've made sure to set it to "event touch," as you can see in the first screenshot. In addition, instead of being on the same level as my heroes, it seems to go behind/under them...

Hey, everyone!

I've been developing a project for a while now. In one scene, I want to have a creature chase the player, and once it touches them, I want a battle to ensue.

Seemed simple enough. But for some reason, instead, it seems to be functioning as if it is a "player touch" event. I've made sure to set it to "event touch," as you can see in the first screenshot.

In addition, instead of being on the same level as my heroes, it seems to go behind/under them on collision. I have a screenshot of the page and what happens below (the shadowy thing behind the player).

Don't worry about the other two pages of the event; just a timer to have the creature spawn. Everything is working fine except for this! Any help would be greatly appreciated.

PS - I know the present event would be an infinite battle loop. Just trying to actually make the touch event work!
