Group Member Collisions

Using the Hit Target event on children of Groups

Grouping Terms Defined

Parent: the group of objects itself.
Children: the objects that make up the group.

Objects in groups (the children) will not collide with other objects in the same group while they are moving. Therefore, the Hit Target event will not occur if it is on a child of a group in:

• Spawners

• Animated groups

• Groups with physics enabled

• Player's handheld slots

• Pickup items

Since movement is possible in all of those setups, the children of a group will not collide with each other. The children of the group will absolutely collide with other, non-grouped objects, just not with each other.
