Squishing Monsters

We're going to make it so if the character jumps on top of the normal monster, it will squish/kill it.

Create a new object monsterDead.

Kill monster if jump on it

We want to kill the monster if we jump on top of it. In order to do this we have to have 2 conditions met:

Condition #1: The player should be moving downwards

vspeed > 0

Condition #2: The player has to be above the monster (or at least 8 pixels below the top of the monster)

y < other.y + 8

Go into your character object and then into the Collision with monster event. Add the action Test Expression to the top of the actions...

Copy/type in the following (we're combining these 2 things into a single expression).

vspeed > 0 and y < other.y + 8

Then add the following actions after it...

Play Sound (kill monster)
Set Score: give player 50 points
Move Fixed: center, speed 0 (so doesn't move)
Change Instance: set to other (so monster, not character) and then change into monsterDead object, perform "yes"

We have 2 sets of actions. First add an Else to separate them...

Then drag start & end blocks at the beginning and end of the 2 sets of actions so we have this...

Test it out and make sure it works.
