Proximity Sensor Problem
 

Hi there,

I'm trying to use a proximity sensor to change the color of a piece of text when the viewpoint collides with a specific node. I've been following the tutorial but I can't figure out why this isn't working. Please help!

Please post example code that reproduces the issue, is simplified as much as possible, and can be run directly without modification. That will make it much easier for others to help troubleshoot. Also, when posting code, use the code tags to preserve indentation.

The solution: simplified and readable (thanks to the code tags). Next time, posting with code tags makes it much easier to debug/troubleshoot as Jeff mentioned.

Thank you! Sorry about the code tags.
