how to destroy a block by jumping on top of it?

InovaTech

hello
is there a way to jump on top of a block actor and destroy it, but if I hit it from the side the block dont move?
Sorry for my bad explanation..

I have a power-up tutorial linked below. One of the power-ups is triggered by hitting a block from below. If you reverse it, you can use the same technique to destroy a block from above.

Hi @InovaTech One way to tackle this is to have a transparent actor as your collision detector, not the block itself.

So when actor collides with actor of type Player
Change Attribute DestroyWhich to 5 --- or whatever
Timer: After 0.15 secs
Destroy

And in your block,
When DestroyWhich = 5
Destroy
