I'm trying to add disappearing platforms into my platformer, but I can't figure out how to make them. Can someone please tell me how?

Here ya go:
(code for platforms)

when I receive [ create platform]
create clone of [ myself]

when I start as a clone
go to x: (pick random (-150) to (150)) y: (0) //This is where the platform will appear, you can change it to whatever you'd like
wait until <touching [ player] ?>
repeat (50)
change [ ghost] effect by (1)
end
delete this clone

Hope this helps!

If there is already a disappearing platform when you broadcast “create platform” 2 will be created, not just one

I was hoping more of the platform would be set on a timer, like every few seconds it would disappear and the player would fall through it and then it would reappear and you could hop right back on it again

Depends on how your platformer works. If collisions are detected using the touching blocks, you can make the platform either a clone of the main ground sprite or a separate sprite, and have it hide every so often. If your platformer uses some other type of collisions, you could have a timer and only draw the platforms and check collisions with them when the timer is in a certain interval.
