can Collision check avoid colliding with hidden layers?

[Bugala]

I am using collision(#LAYER, id1 ,id2) and i ran into something i didnt want to happen.

I have used HideLayer() for id2, and when i do collision check between id1 and id2, it detects it as collision despite the id2 being hidden.

Is there a way to check for collision so that if one of the layers to be checked is hidden, it wouldnt report true then?

I can make workaround for this of course, but i would prefer if there would be command that would handle this for me.

I use the trick just not to hide a layer but move it to offscreen outside screen boundarys (above, left, right or down of it).

but then there comes the problem that you need to know the location where the layer is supposed to be displayed at.

I only put the layer to its place at beginning, after that i only keep hiding and showing it, without any knowledge where the actual x and y are supposed to be at.

Well, just write a wrapper function that checks the #ATTRVISIBLE attribute of the layer and only calls Collision() when both layers are visible.

Ah, that didnt come to my mind. Thanks Andreas!
