You cannot currently make deadly- or even solid- custom objects. You can approximate this using invisible kill tiles, but for rain this probably would be no good. I assume this is the problem you're having? It shows up in the game, but cannot kill the player?

Custom objects are still useful: They can animate (and thus, move around) and can be in front of Juni.

But it won't kill. That's the problem we're having.

You could make an exact replica of the default deadly rain and put it on a layer over it, in order to mask it. However, doing it without the deadly rain animation data would be insane, if at all possible (maybe speed and/or starting frame are random, making it impossible to sync), and you'd be limited by the original.

I'm probably overthinking this, but I wanted to write something. X)

there is no deadly rain object? Or am I badly mistaken?

I think AA is talking about the ghost object that when one of the water drops hit Juni she dies.

i made a little test, maybe like this?

make a custom object single tile, and make the whole thing like R-1 B-000 G-000 and then set it on layer 7, put the ghost dripper behind it.

That actually works very nicely :) I might want to use that for a level of mine
