SOLVED Respawning Layers.

I have falling spikes in my platformer, and when the player dies I want the spikes to respawn but not the whole room. the spikes are placed in the Room editor not in code. Thanks!

Save their starting y position in a variable in their create event. Then somewhere in your player respawn control object or script, add something like this:

with (obj_spike) {
    y = y_start;
    state = hanging;
    etc
}

Sorry, can you elaborate? when the spikes fall the instance gets destroyed.
