Falling Platform trouble

Okysho

In the interest of enhancing the platforming aspect of my game, I've introduced falling platforms into my game, but they're providing a couple of problems.

1) if enemies step on the platform, it falls along with the enemy despite no rules against it.
2) If my player touches a platform from the side, the platform runs sideways

The rules for the falling platforms are as follows:

collide with: player, enemies

if actor collides with player, accelerate downward speed 2000

That's it. I tried the "movable" and "not movable" not changing it to unmovable just turns it into a regular non-moving platform.

Anyone have any suggestions?

in the "otherwise" section of the platform's rules, try setting constrain self.x & self.y to self.position.x & self.position.y

that way it won't move unless colliding with the player.

Thanks for the reply, this actually doesn't work... For some reason it just doesn't want to work...

try unchecking movable and when the play touches interpolate self.position.y to -10 and then set your duration however fast you want it to be.

That did it! Thanks tenrdrmer!
