I'm working on a spaceship game, when the space ship collides with a red dot, it's supposed to gain speed, but after a while loose it. Like when a platform character make a jump, it's send up in the air and after a while it comes back to earth. I want the same effect but when the ship is hitting this particulary spot! How do I do this? n/a

Anyway, you just need a counter or an alterable value or something to keep track of how long the powerup has been active. Something like this perhaps: Ship: Alterable value A = 0 ---Ship: set speed to 30 Ship: Alterable value A > 0 ---Ship: set speed to 50 ---Ship: subtract 1 from Alterable value A Ship collides with Dot ---Dot: Destroy ---Ship: Set Alterable value A to 300 n/a

To do what you're asking with platform movement is impossible. Create a custom movement that does the same thing (search the articles on how to do this), and it'll be easy though. n/a
