How to trigger a SUB when jumping over something

If I have SPRITE 1, and it needs to trigger a SUB when it jumps over SPRITE 2, how would I code that?
Right now, the jump code knows if SPRITE 1 is HITting SPRITE 2, so it invalidates the jump success, but that means it triggers if I jump at any time, not specifically OVER SPRITE 2.

You could use a dummy sprite. When the player jumps, you place a sprite over the enemy. If this sprite hits the player, then the player successfully jumped over. You then disable the sprite afterward.

Wow! That’s genius. Implementing now.

The power of sprites ;)

Another way would be just comparing the X and Y coordinates of the sprites. But using hidden sprite collisions is fine, too.
