How do I blink a sprite when the player gets hit?

How do I make the player sprite blink/flash when it gets hit by a bullet?

for instance:

if (the player gets hit by a bullet){

the player flashes with a solid white color}

thanks!

there is a build in behavior called flash.

Give it to your sprite and just add this

Bullet on collision with sprite--------. sprite flash

Ive already tried the flash behavior but it just turns the sprite invisible.

Is there a way to make the sprite glow instead?

thanks!

It makes your player invisible because it runs every tick and the flash behavior resets all the time. add a trigger once in your command to stop this from happening.

you must understand how conditions work in programing.if something is true it will run 60times a second unless you tell it to do it only once when the condition triggers for the first time.

If you don't mind relying on WebGL effects, you could have the following:

If [Bullet] overlaps [Player]
~~~then~~~
Destroy [Bullet]
Set [Player] effect [Brightness] [200]
Wait [0.05] seconds
Set [Player] effect [Brightness] [100]
Wait [0.05] seconds
Set [Player] effect [Brightness] [200]
Wait [0.05] seconds
Set [Player] effect [Brightness] [100][/code:6b2cmud1]

That code makes the player flash twice. Make sure you give [Player] the tint effect first!

thats great! I felt really comfortable using the effect solution...

thank you both for helping!

Or another alternative way is to create 5 animation sprites. Load it as an animation

If bullet hits Player --> Destrory bullet

--> Set Animation ("Animation name")
