I'm creating a platformer game. How can I make my player throw an object at enemies while running and kill them?

Have your player spawn the object, give the object the appropriate movement/velocity, and destroy the enemy actor when it collides with the object.

Icebox

Here is one way to do it

Create 2 bullet actors ( right and left)

bullet1 (right)
* put a change attribute ( change attribute self.motionlinearvelocity x to 400(+ speed (right) ) )
* Rule if self.time > 5 or collides with enemies ( destroy )

bullet2 (left)
* put a change attribute ( change attribute self.motionlinearvelocity x to -400(- speed(left) ) )
* Rule if self.time > 5 or collides with enemies ( destroy )

In your player actor

In your movement you will have him going right or left , depending on your image you will probably use flip horizontaly to flip the image when going right/left

if key is pressed ( choose the key you want)
Put this rule inside
if flip horizontally is true
spawn actor (bullet1)
otherwise
spawn actor ( bullet2)

In your enemy Actor
If overlaps or collides with actor bullet1 or bullet2 (use tags if you want)
destroy
