Got another curious question for you guys:
In my game I'm trying to code a row of spikes to fall individually as the player runs under them. In other words, as the player is positioned directly underneath the spike, it triggers the individual spike to fall.

You can do this in many ways, I will write down some ideas that came into my mind.
1- Create an invisible active that is always positioned over the player, if this active ever touches the spike, trigger the further codes for falling.
2- Use distance values to measure the condition where it should fall, you can use Snipped manager for this.

I just tried out the first one you mentioned, and it works well. I could also modify the invisible active to move when the player moves.
Thanks a lot Thiago!

or..... so you dont have an extra object following you at all times on all frames, just position an invisible active as a detector directly below the area of the spikes (one object per spike) and have it so when you collide with the invisible active it will drop the spike above. to use multiple spikes you might have to spread an alterable value but it will save you from having that extra object with you all the time and only have this on the levels that have falling objects. if thats an every level ordeal, than just make an object that follows you.
