I don't want to just destroy every platform when the player touches it. Each one can do different things depending on what trigger equals. So most of them will = 0 meaning it wont do anything on contact. 1 means it will delete when touched, 2 would make it disappea for 5 seconds for example. I get now that functions wont save on events and will just over complicate it. I'm just going to make sub events of on collision.

It's not just destroying that I'll be doing. I plan on having a bunch of functions that do different things depending on the trigger variable. I guess I could just have trigger = 1, trigger = 2, ... subevents. In my head this seemed like it would reduce the amount of events I would be using. (I have the free version so I have to watch my events)

I can't test it out right now but that makes perfect sense. Thanks!

So I have a whole bunch of platform objects. They all have an instance variable called "trigger" which I change to different values to achieve different things. Right now I do

-Player: On Colission with platform

-- Platform.trigger != 0

-> call function "te_" & platform.trigger
- On function "te_1"
-> platform destroy

It's calling the function perfectly fine, but is deleting every platform instead of the one the player collided with. I know this has something to do with it not passing the platforms id to the function so it knows the specific one to delete. But how do I make it so it knows which one to do?

Sorry if it's confusing, I'm not the best at explaining things.

If you turn on snap to grid and show grid, you can see where the objects will snap to.

You arent really giving enough info. What behavior are your enemies using? Also, distance() will return the amount of pixels between object1 and object2 so you're on the right track.

I suppose I could do that, but how would I know the difference between it being in the air or on the ground. And how could I decide if its rolling on a flat surface or if its going down a hill?
