Jet of Fire!!!

[Chromaticed]

Oh no Chromaticed needs help again!!!!

Yea I'm stuck again : (

So there is a part in my game which involves the hero walking from one place to the other.
But there is statues in the way that throws a jet of fire then stops for some time to allow
the player to pass and then it repeats.
If the hero touches it he looses half of his HP and he takes a step back preventing him to pass.

Like this:

I just can't manage to do it. What do I need. Sprites? Animations? And how do I set up the event?

I really need this so please help me

Probably a sprite. Use turns to give it the same effect as the door sprite.

An animation would actually be more detailed but would require more work.

Thanks! I'll try.

I would suggest making a parallel process event that runs an animation and waits until the animation ends.  The animation would trigger invisible events on the floor that cause HP damage if the player is on that floor tile.

How would the animation trigger the lower hp event?

Presumably, they could be activated by the same switch.  (Warning:  XP only guy here.)  At least, that's how I'd do it-- have a parallel process event that goes wait, wait, wait, flip switch on, wait, flip switch off.  When the switch is on, play the animation, and activate the invisible events that say "If you're standing here, loose half your health!" 

But that's in XP.  I don't know if VX works the same way.

VX could probably do that. Let my try it now...

Edit: Yay, I did it! Thanks all of you!
