Fading Spikes (need for coding help)
« on: May 23, 2015, 11:30:10 PM »
I am currently trying to do a spike that, when a trigger is triggered, it fades away and then detroys itself (stops killing the player).
The thing is, I can make it fade away, but it still kills you, and I know I have to make an alarm event that starts when a certain trigger is triggered and that alarm then destroys the object ( instance_destroy () )
But i dont know how to incorporate such thing!
Any help pls  :atkCry: ?

I'm assuming you're using this to fade out the spike:

Code: [Select]
image_alpha -= fadeOutSpeed;
and if this is the case, just put this in the step event of the spike:

Code: [Select]
if(image_alpha <= 0){ instance_destroy(); }

just copy this into the step event:

image_alpha-=0.02
if image_alpha<0{instance_destroy()}
