{%this.schedule(1000,"reducehealth");}
}

Are you saying that your player's health keeps reducing after it leaves the spike?

If yes, you may want to revisit your player::reducehealth function.

Newbie suggestion: Wouldnt a trigger be easier? Doesnt it have on enter/on exit functionality?

On collision with your spike, reduce health only if player not invincable, set player to invincible, schedule set to not invincible. Sorry I would be more descriptive if I wasn't so tired.. hope this helps.

Like Oliver suggested - 

function player::onLevelLoaded(%this, %scenegraph)
{
   %this.invincible = false;
   %this.health = 100;
}

function player::reduceHealth(%this)
{
   %this.health--;

   echo("health =" SPC %this.health);
 
   %this.invincible = true;
   %this.schedule(1000, "resetInvincibility");
}

function player::resetInvincibility(%this)
{
   %this.invincible = false;
}

function player::onCollision(%srcObj, %dstObj)
{
   if(!%srcObj.invincible)
      %srcObj.reduceHealth();   
}

Hmm thanks,i'm tried john mcarthur 'solution using trigger
but the problem is how can i create trigger on the fly
i've tried


function flower::onlevelloaded(%this)
{ $flower=%this;

%this.setusemouseevents(true);
%flowtrigger= new t2dtrigger()
{
sceneGraph = %this;
class = "flowertrigger";
layer = 0;
size = "32 32";
EnterCallback = "true";
StayCallback = "false";
LeaveCallback = "true";
};
%flowtrigger.setposition(%this.getposition());
}

function flowertrigger::onEnter(%this,%object)
{ error("xxxxx");
}

but if another object enter the trigger it doesn't work

but if i create trigger manually on the level builder it's work
tell me is there any mistake on my code?
