sonic game moving platform

[tlah]

In the original sonic the hedgehog games, there was a platform that you jumped on and it was moving from left to right. I got it to move, but when sonic stands on it, he doesn't move with it. how can i get him to move along with it?

Try this:

When the player collides with the platform, make the platform his parent.
On collision finish, remove the parent.

It works, but when sonic is on it, he moves slower the platform, so if he is just standing there, he falls off. Help!

could you upload the .ged file + data please?

Add to the collision event, instead of parenting, add a script editor code:
sonic.xvelocity = platform.xvelocity;

Instead of "sonic" in the code, use the name of the actor that represents sonic, instead of "platform" use the name of the actor that has the moving platform.
If your moving is x = x + 5; though, then you'll have to change it to xvelocity = 5; and make a Key up event for those keys that you use for controling, and say: xvelocity = 0;

This requires a little more work, but it should work that way for sure.
