quick question: Moving Platforms

bgapps

i am making a platforming game where my guy jumps on top of other blocks to get to the top. To make it more interesting and fun i want one of the blocks to go side to side so its harder for the player to jump on it. The rule i did was when the block hit the side of the game it rotates 180 degrees really fast and moves to the other side and so on...
The only problem is that when the guy jumps on top of the moving block it moves out of place and its use less
Can some one please tell me how to get around this problem
thanks,
BG

Try using a a constrain to hold self.position.y to the same place while allowing the rest to keep on moving

Eh, won't that make it hard for the player to get off the platform?

Huh, every time i jump on the moving block I fall right through it even though I have the collide behavior on.
help

Constraining the block not the player. Why would this not allow it to jump on and off

@bgapps. I have read people say the constrains sometimes override collision rules. not sure why it would in this case but i'm not yet a constraining expert.

Good luck. If your luck tshirtbooth or someone may chime in and point you in the right direction.

Sorry I couldn't help Good luck
