Stay with the platform?

Postby Hblade » Wed Jul 04, 2012 3:58 pm

I have a moving platform that goes on a line (using the path tool), when my player gets on it he doesn't follow it. He slides off of it, and doesn't move with the platform. How can I make this work to where he actually stands ON the platform?

You can parent the player to the platform. That way the player sticks with it. And when they fall or jump off you unparent it.

Edit: this causes the screen to flicker for some reason. Its trying to move to the next screen and then sends its self back o.O

How are you handling view movement? If the player's x and y values are used, then parenting will cause problems. There are ways around this, but I can't be sure about your setup.

Yeah its if the players X is more than the views width it jumps over one, same with Y. and vise-verse, when xscreen is less than 0 it moves left.

What would be the workaround?

The best workaround is to use xscreen, which you say you are using. So, given what you have, I can't replicate your problem.

Ah thats fine, I'll figure out something. I tried using directional_velocity but that did nothing either

Edit: i finally fixed it with a ton of trial and error theres only 1 tiny glitch and thats the player sometimes goes a tad inside of it (I dont use Physical Response for the collision). YAY though :D I can live with that.
