spikes - your thoughts?

[dettol]

Hi, would anyone have any advice to go about this.

I can think of a few ways to tackle it but I am starting to use to much code and I don't even think I am going down the correct road.
Basically my end result is to have spikes rise from the ground 3 times then stop for about 2 seconds, then start back up, the spikes will kill him but when they are down for 2 seconds he can run through.
I though maybe having a sprite in place with animation then when frame 4 is reached (down) on frame 4 change the sprite to black (so it looks invisible) then add delay but I am not sure..

Is their a better way? maybe to just despawn the enemy sprite (spikes) for a few seconds to let him pass?  what's your thoughts on this.
I am keen to use as little code as possible for bytes, I am still progressing through AGT and loving it.

cheers
