How do I make retractable spikes

I want to make a mechanic that has spikes going in and out (kind of like don't touch the spikes). But I want it to be a random set of spikes each time. Help?

Depends on how far you want them to move. there are many ways of doing it. shine, bullet and pathfinding are most commonly used for that.

as for the spikes set collision points in the image it's self.

also you can set on event. set position of spikes every x seconds

or on event destroy spikes

on event system create spikes.

Carbincopy I understand, but I want any random spikes to do it, not all spikes or one spike at a time

add for each

the way I did it for my project was to have floor tiles that can have spikes. You can perfectly add the randomess factor to it.

I added an intance variable called fSpikesID

and I use system Pick to know which spike trap is being activated.

I can send you images of the code if you want

— that would be excellent and thank you

Dear FraktalZero, Can you send me the images of the code. It would be of great help since I'm experimenting with something similar.

Tell you what, tomorrow Ill try to put a small capx file with whats necessary. and Ill comment it.

Cheers

Thanks a lot! You rock!

— thank you very much. When is the soonest this can be done

This the link:

Its commented so you shouldn't have too much trouble understanding how it works. Small bug though: when placed one aside another one, the spikes tend to rest up.

I wont be fixing this right now.

Hope it helps.

Did you guys download it? I would like to know so I can take down the link, thanks
