How do I Create a button that you have to land on?

I'm creating a platform game, and I was wondering how I would create a button that my guy would have to land on to Activate.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

Do the slashes mean to make it an OR block?

No, those are just potential options. It's up to you which is most appropriate. Generally collision is what you want to test, but it depends if the button is a one-shot, or has to be held down.

My button is a one shot button, but I want it to be pushed into the ground when my guy lands on it. I just don't know whether to make it an animation or do something else.

You can just move it down. Up to you.

Okay. I think I know what I wanna do! Thanks everybody!

My guy > collides with button > set button.variable to "active"

button.variable = "active" and button.Y is greater than the ground > button.Y = button.Y - 0.2

button.y = ground.Y > set button.variable to "done"

button.variable = "done" > Do something

That's probably how I'd do it

Thanks, but I've already figured it out how I wanted to do it. Nice alternative, though!
