removing collision between player and the other objects

[ajater]

I have a simple platform game where there is a counted time, and if the time is up the player should fall dawn and lose,

and I am using this code for losing in the step event of the player:

if (global.lose)
{
sprite_index = sp_lose
gravity = 1;
exit;
}
else

but the problem is when the player fall down it stuck with ground and another objects such as stairs,

and I want to remove any collision between the player and the other objects.

any help will be appreciated.

In situations like this, I usually create a separate object for death animation. It has a mostly empty step event except, if necessary, code to make it fall and play out some animation. When player dies I destroy player and spawn this object in same spot.

If you don't have many characters then @NightFrost suggestion is easiest way to go (probably using instance_change()). Other direction would be simply put

if(!global.loose)
{
 ///Collision code
}

And another option would be a loosing state in the state machine without collision.

thanks @NightFrost this worked for me.

Set sprite_index to -1 and draw the player in the End Draw event if the sprite_index is -1.

If you use masks, also set mask_index to -1.
