how do i get the folow actor to destroy the folowed actor after being destroyd?

heya i find myself in a pickle again..i have made a custom colition box at the feet of my player so that it follows along as it moves for the sole purpose so that my player can move behind or in front of objects.so it doesn't just get destroyed when touching any part of it.so how do i get it so that when that attached actor touches or collides with something it destroys or in this case kills the player ? i'm making an endless runner and want some items to pass by my character unless it touches say the base of that object and kills it.

    You can communicate between actors by doing something like this:

    collisionBox actor

    When actor collides with [something]
         Change attribute game.collision to true

    player actor

    When attribute game.collision is true
         Destroy actor

    Here is a demo.https://www.dropbox.com/sh/7l2yqdmf0dq6y79/AAD80vZvupwcXuC9MPGEqqXZa?dl=0

    Game attributes can link many things together in the same scene or even in different scenes.

    Its good to understand as you will use it over and over and over again........
