  Aha, Ok i see now. So the 'PlayerBox' is the object actually affected by collisions...etc... and the 'Player' is actually the 'VISUAL' of what happens to the PlayerBox?

  Both are affected by collisions.

  The reason it didn't work before was because the spikes have the "solid" behavior: https://www.scirra.com/manual/104/solid

  And the solid behavior was reacting to the Platform behavior from the PlayerBox object, so the collision with the player object wasn't activating properly. It would also have worked if in the editor you changed the Player position 1 pixel below the PlayerBox. That way, the player object would have collided with the spikes first, but since both objects are on the same Y position, it wasn't working properly.

  An event is formed by conditions (left side) and actions (right side).

  I've changed it for you so you can see for yourself. Also the "is falling" condition I mentioned before wasn't working properly and I've changed that to compare Y between the objects, so it will only destroy the box when you are top of it.

  Do you have the minify script option enabled when you export to HTML5?

  You need to use the PlayerBox sprite on your conditions instead of the actual player.

  And for the box, add the platformer condition: is falling.

  You can use something simple like this. You can also change the global variable for an instance variable.

  Take a look at the manual:

  Don't use gestures, try using the on any touch start or any touch end conditions.

  What's the problem with construct 2 sprite-font plugin? You should use the every tick condition and set the sprite-font text to the variable. Doesn't that work?

  Hello. This is how I would do it (check the .capx), there are 2 examples, one is random (z) and the other one is with fixed angles (space bar).

  Hi. You need to isolate the "set select to choose" action from the loop. Check the .capx. (I'm using the latest beta).

  That probably doesn't work because you cannot jump in mid-air (unless you do a double jump). You could try adding the solid behavior on the enemies (and setting the collision to a bounding box for a better result). Otherwise you'll have to do the bounce manually by messing with the vector Y. There's probably a tutorial around here somewhere though. I remember seeing it before.

  Good work.
