How to make Sprite/Player jump off spike/obstacles?

How to make Sprite/Player jump off spike/obstacles?

I tried setting the Y value but it jumps off instantly and it looks weird.

Any tips and tuts to make it look "natural"

Use Set vector Y and put a negative value (e.g. -128) to make the player bounce up.

You can also use Set vector X to make the player bounce away from the obstacle

Here's an example, that will bounce the Player back or forwards depending on where they are in relation to the Spike:

Set vector X = Player.X < Spike.X ? -128 : 128

Edit: Here's an example with higher values:

capx (r244)

Thanks! Just changed some values to make the sprite bounce further.

I can play an animation at the same time right?

Glad to help. And sure, you can put the action to play the animation in the same event.
