How can you make alternating barriers that change when you jump?

[Fizzle1491]

For my barrier platforming map (inspired by Apollo’s Surge) I want to introduce a mechanic that orange and purple barriers turn on and off when you jump, and it alternates back and forth, with orange being activated at first. How could I do this, since it’s been done before, to my knowledge?

so like the fliping platforms in Mario Galaxy?

Yep, that is the EXACT reference I’m going for

Triggers. Put invisible triggers where you jump, and make those barriers alternate.

Or make some barriers with collision and some with none and overlap them. then triggers to (de)activate them

you can detect when the player jumps by if their momentum is above 0, you can check momentum by subtracting the y position, by a property that is set to a y position 0.2 seconds ago.

I need help making automatic switching barriers

You can achieve this via two triggers wired to constantly trigger each other, each broadcasting on a different channel. Make half the barriers have settings to deactivate on channel a and activate on channel b, and half the barriers have settings to activate on channel a and deactivate on channel b. After setting that up, place down two triggers, and wire them to each other. The wire setting should be when triggered----trigger. Set the trigger delay to whatever you want, this will be the time e…

Thanks Bardy, I was already going to change it to automatically swapping barriers (like the Beat Blocks from Mario 3D Land/World) since the jumping thing is confusing to figure out. I’ll mark a solution now, and thank you all for your help
