Now let's add a creepy  potion bottle to our game

Go back to your scene

Click add a new object

Select Sprite

Name the object Potion

Click Add Animation

Click Create in Piskel

Make a potion bottle

Animate it with some bubbles (using layers)

Test Save and add it to your scene/game

Now go back to the coin and open it up (edit coin)

Click Add an animation

Open up your original Animation #0 in Piskel

With the selection Tool

Select the coin and Copy it (Ctl + C)

Click Save

Open up Animation #1 by clicking create with Piskel

Paste the coin in Piskel (Ctl+C)

Animate the coin so that it looks like it's rotating

Make it a loop

Click Apply

Go to our events section

Add a new event

What we want to do it make the coins rotate when we touch the potion but we want to say it as an In then statement

The sentence would be "If Hero collides with the potion then we want the animation on the coin to change from #0 to #1"

Click on add condition and select Hero

Add Collision as the Hero Condition

Choose potion as the object

Click okay

Now let's add the action

Click Add Action

Search up Animation

Select Animation (by number)

Select Coin

Change Animation Index to 1 (so you are switching the animation from #0 to #1)

Save and test

Now on your own, add the action of removing the potion bottle

Save and test

Now let's create a killzone so that when the Hero falls off the platform and to the bottom of the scene, it resets

Go back to you scene

Add new object

Select Sprite

Name it Kill Zone

Add Animation

Create with Piskel

Click save without creating any art so that it is a sprite with no colored pixels

Click Apply

Go back to your scene

Place your killzone atthe bottom of your scene and make it fit

Switch back to Events

Add a new event

So what we want to do is have the Hero reset when it collides with the kill zone 

Add condition

Hero Collision Killzone

Add action

Change the scene

Select Untitles scene

Save and test

Let's modify the game so that when we jump on the bad guy, we take them out but if the bad guy touches us, it takes us out. 

We can just copy, paste and modify a similar event to speed things up. You don't have to do it this way of course, I just want to show that it is possible.

Copy and paste the Hero is in collision with Badguy and drop it in a new event

New that we have the new events with hero is in collision with Badguy, we want to add another condition called Is Falling

The order of operations always Top Down so you want to have Is Falling before is in collision in this event

Now add the action Delete Badguy

Save and test

It doesn't work

Boo Hiss!

Why do you think it doesn't work? A clue is 5 lines up.

The problem is that as the game runs the events, we have If Hero is in collision with bad guy then change to untitled scene first so it will never get to run the "is falling" event

We need to move this event above the change to scene event

Now we are going to change the camera to change the look of the game by creating a new event

This time we are going to leave the condition empty

This means that it is always happening

Click Add Action

Select Center Camera on an Object

Save and test

Go back to your scene

Click add a new object

Select Sprite

Name the object Vine

Click Add Animation

Click Create in Piskel

Change the height to 64

Draw a vine

Click Save

Select Behaviors

Click Add Behavior

Choose Platform

Change the type from Platform to Ladder

Test the game and notice you can now climb the vine but you can't jump through the top platform

We need to create a new platform and give it the ability to jump through

Find your platform in your objects

Click on the Three dots to the right of your platform and select duplicate

Create Platform2

Double Click on your platform2 and select behaviors

Change the Type to Jumpthru platform

Replace the old platform at the top of your vine with Platform2

Save and test
