Help with objects touching - Disappearing floor

[Jmarlin3]

The idea is that when the player is touching the floor, it turns red. However, when there are multiple floors, so if the player isn't touching it, I will go away.

Code for floor: Step Event

if !place_meeting(x,y,obj_player){
  instance_create_layer(x,y,4,obj_redfloor);   
    instance_destroy();
}

Code for redfloor: Step Event

if !place_meeting(x,y,obj_player)
{
    instance_create_layer(x,y,4,obj_wall)
    instance_destroy();
}

Code for player: Create

spd = 4;

Step Event:

move_up = keyboard_check(vk_up);
move_down = keyboard_check(vk_down);
move_left = keyboard_check(vk_left);
move_right = keyboard_check(vk_right);

xx = move_right - move_left;
yy = move_down - move_up;

hspd = xx*spd;
vspd = yy*spd;


if(place_meeting(x+hspd,y,obj_wall)){
    while(!place_meeting(x+sign(hspd),y,obj_wall)){
    x+= sign(hspd);
    
    }
    hspd = 0;
}
x += hspd;

if(place_meeting(x,y+vspd,obj_wall)){
    while(!place_meeting(x,y+sign(vspd),obj_wall)){
        y+=sign(vspd);
    }
    vspd = 0;
}
y += vspd;

Is there something I can do to where it doesn't go away until after the player has touched it? I didn't want to do a timer.


Thank you for the help.

Couldn't you use multiple sprites and have the wall alternate between them, rather than having two separate objects.

Your collision is only happening with the obj_wall not obj_redfloor.

Sorry I’m not entirely sure what you mean.
Your saying that when it’s touching switch to the sprite red, right? Then make it disappear? How would I make it switch?

Wait my bad, that was a dumb question. I figured it out.But wouldn’t the same issue still apply?

Also I don't want it to be with red floor, just wall
