How do you make spikes?

EpicFangirl21

sorry i'm new to this and want to create a game sort of like Mario where instead you have to avoid spikes, climb walls, double-jump, and capture a flag. Hopefully there can be 5-6 levels, but i really need help! I would GREATLY appreciate anyone who can help me, and they will definitely be mentioned for helping me. THANK YOU!!!! XD

I have a project where spikes are used. It's here. Take out the sprite “spike” and use it for your project, and give credit.

Well “spikes” doesn't exist. Sprites that changes variables does.
Considering you already built your game with Mario having health and all:

Spike (or block/whatever) (I suggest using hitbox if they have a weird design/deco thingies)

when green flag clicked
forever
if <touching [Mario] ?> then
change [HP] by (-1) //Or broadcast DIE,...
broadcast [HURT] and wait //Risky block, I suggest using broadcast and wait .1 sec
end
end

Mario script:

when I receive [HURT]
go to x: (SPAWN) y: (SPAWN)//(You can have add-on such as animations,..)

Note:You can skip Spike script and directly make it so that it is Mario that detects touching the spike

Well HP is just a random variable that you can show. You could also render hearts that disappears depending on the HP:

Heart sprites script:

when green flag clicked
set [HP] to [5]
switch costume to [Heart 5]

And then, if you already inserted the lowering HP script in the spikes:

when I receive [HURT]
wait (0.1) secs //Avoid glitches else Spikes won't have time to lower HP
switch costume to (join [Heart ] (HP)

And for basically every other game necessities I suggest copying a random platformer (Games with the aim to teach peoples scripting are always easier to copy from, I suggest using them)

A simpler way to do it is

forever
if <> then
<touching [spikes v] ?>
end
end
[scratchblocks]
when green flag clicked
[/scratchblocks]

you can try to do this too:-make one sprite that looks like a spike,then do this to the moving sprite,

when green flag clicked
forever
if <> then
<touching [ v] ?>
go to x: () y: (0)
end
end

in the touching sprite make it sprite two.
