FAlling blocks

[sonic101]

Does anyone know a decent way to do falling blocks in game maker 7.0 registered? you know the ones, they're there, you jump oin them and in a few secodns they fall out from underneath you?

In create event:

hit=0

In collision with Sonic:

if(hit=0){hit=1; alarm[0]=20}

In alarm 0 event:

motion_set(270,5)

There you go. Feel free to adjust the numbers to make it stay longer, or fall faster.

Though that will make the block stand still for a certain amount of time, then instantly fall with 5 pixels/step downwards. I suggest you add some gravity to that movement.

Creation event:
hit   = false;
timer = 16;
ysp   = 0;

Step event:
if ( !hit )
{
    if ( collision_with_player ) hit = true;
}
else
{
    if ( timer > 0 ) timer -= 1;
    else
    {
        ysp += gravity_constant;
        y   += ysp;
    }
}
