Hi
i'm a newbie and i have a question

i have 2 sprite
player and spike
if my player collide with spike
their health was reduced

function player::onlevelloaded
{
$crash=false;
}

function player::reducehealth
{
$health--;
if ($health>0)
{%this.schedule(1000,"reducehealth");}
}

function player::oncollision(bla bla)
{
if ($crash==false)
{
%srcobject.schedule(200,"reducehealth");
$crash=true;
}

I'd say just take out all the $crash stuff. When the player has the collision, don't schedule it, just call reducehealth();

As in:
function player::onlevelloaded
{
   //do nothing special
}

function player::reducehealth()
{
   $health--;
}

function player::oncollision(bla bla)
{
   %srcObj.reducehealth();
}

What's happening makes perfect sense. If you collide with something, you schedule reduceHealth which in turn reschedules itself indefinitely. Instead what you want is the player only to be damaged every few seconds while on the spikes... correct? Just follow that logic. =)
