How do respawn a falling platform?

In the event that destroys the platform, spawn a new one at it's original location.

You can keep track of it's original position with a pair of instance variables or an invisible helper sprite.

An alternative would be to not have the original platform fall at all, just make it invisible, turn off solid, and spawn a dummy sprite to fall instead. Then make it visible and solid again later.

Thanks oosyrag,

your suggestion worked, However I am experiencing one additional problem, in the link below I show how I followed your instructions. But need help figuring out a new issue.

in the video I show 3 ways to try and resolve the issue I was having. But was indeed able to get the falling platform to fall however its spawns too many objects at a time.

is there something I am missing in the code ?

Here is the screenshot of the code

Trigger once only works when there are other conditions with it.

I am still working on this issue its starting to become a headache really lol

I am thinking of just going with an alternative solution

But I really am trying to tackle this and understand what is causing my problem in this code

Ok so there's a few problems here, in no particular order"

Don't use physics unless your whole project is physics based (or you really really know what you're doing).

Your platform with the sine shaking is probably causing multiple collisions and resets. It is often

Avoid using wait, it simply delays the actions and doesn't stop events from running in the meantime. Better to use timers and timer triggers for anything that needs to happen over time.

Using instance variables along with the timer behavior to keep track of the state of various objects could be useful as well. I put together an example for you, hope this helps. dropbox.com/s/2uigcteg6sam753/fallingplatformexample.c3p
