I'm making a simple platformer game, and I need help making enemies you can jump on, but you can also be damaged by. Think of the enemies from the Mario games for example. I'll be grateful for any help!

You can create an enemy that's white on top and black at the bottom. Then check if you're touching black(you get damaged) or touching white(enemy dead) make sure you're touching the sprite if there are other white/black sprites in your game.

For some reason, the code ignores the sprite Thanks for trying though.

Make a “bottom sensor” sprite. It should be a small black rectangle. It should follow the player using this:

Then make the enemy sense if it is touching the bottom sensor:

This is a more advanced method that is more efficient than a sensor sprite. I assumed a few things, such as the enemy being a clone.

When I start as a clone

Forever(
If <touching player> and <player y position is more than my y position> and <abs( my x position- player x position) is less than (width of enemy):
delete this clone/ take damage
)

Sorry I didn't use actual scratch blocks, they're almost impossible to use on my computer

I made the game public, so you can help by commenting on it!

Yes, that is more efficent and compact that way.

The code isn't responding to my game, though. Seriously, the code is ignoring everything I put in.
