Mario type hit Blocks

as the title say's I'm trying to setup Mario hit blocks,

you know the type of blocks/bricks you hit and they bounce upwards and release a coins above.

I tried,

• Block on collision with Player
• Block.Y < Player.Y - Spawn on object (coin)

                      - set visible (coin)

                      - Destroy (coin)

This doesn't work all I've tried Block.Y greater than, less than, etc...

if I hit the block from the side while jumping it destroys?

I can't seem to get the coin to pop up above the block either, I want it to pop up above the block.

What happens is that you create the coin, then immediately destroy it.

Create a little animation for the coin where it bounces up and such, and do something like this.

+ Player is jumping

+ Player collides with Block

- Spawn coin

- Coin: Play animation "bounce"

+ Coin animation bounce is over

- Destroy: Coin

I did something similar to this with a custom movement behavior, let it move up for half a second, and back down for half a second, then destroy it. Also, adding a wait between the set visible and destroy will allow it to appear on screen for a noticeable length of time.

inkBot Greg Thank you for your quick feedback, But I still need the block to not detect the collision from the side just the bottom. thx

i think this is what you wont <img src="smileys/smiley2.gif" border="0" align="middle">

try: hit me baby

capx

edit: you can play with distance from center of box..the way I set it is that Player X must be iniside box width...or use different sprite attached to players head and check for overlaping instead of collision so you can hit two boxes at once

You may set a "focus" for the block and make sure that the event occurs when the player hits the focus

If the player reaches the block from the sides or from above he won't be able to touch the "focus"

this is simpler an I think 100% working example: on collision check if angle(Player,Box) is less than zero and image point at players top most pixel is greater than boxY+box.height/2

try

capx

edit: update files. now is perfect - added one more condition: Player Y velocity is less than zero or is not falling.

edit 2 <img src="smileys/smiley18.gif" border="0" align="middle"> : updated files (again). You dont need to calculate angle with "is not falling condition" added...now is perfect   <img src="smileys/smiley4.gif" border="0" align="middle">
