Recognition of Adjacent Cells (and or tags)

fmakawa

Hi folks,
I'm rather baffled as to how to make an object recognise the attributes of the objects next to it. In this case, the colour of adjacent cells. I want to the object to act or interact with adjacent objects according to their attributes which change. Any ideas?

Store the data in table cells and compare based on a grid model.

Okay @tatiang but I dont know how to work such a thing (comparing etc). Is there a tutorial anywhere? I've looked around and found nothing - perhaps my search parameters are all wrong

There is a thread by @LumpApps that shows you the function for a grid to table cell values. I used this method for my multiplayer battleship games.

I'm a tad lost here. The thread is a snap to grid thread, awesome, but it doesn't read the attributes of adjacent cells or am I lost?
