So I have a moving block pushing across the screen and when the player doesn't collide with it I don't want the player to die anymore. So here what I got

Player on collision with player set variable 1

(X)player on collision with player set variable 0

Colliding with player = 1/ wait 3 sec/ destroy

Colliding with player =0/ No event

In other words, the player only dies if it continues to collide with the object for 3 seconds? Yeah, you should not use "wait" here.

Try something like this:
variable collisionTime=0 On player collision with block -> Set collisionTime to time Player NOT overlapping block -> Set collisionTime to 0 Every tick collisionTime not equal 0 collisionTime less than (time-3) -> Player destroy

You can also do the same with Timer behavior. On collision start a timer "die" for 3 seconds. If no longer overlapping, cancel timer. On "die" timer event, destroy the player.
