Moving Platform - Make actor stay with platform

SmallBytes

Can someone point me to a tutorial or help. I have a moving platform in my game and need the main actor (character) to travel with the moving platform when it jumps on it.

I have searched the forum but can not find anything.

Thanks

been searching for a solution for this as well. weird that no one has answered this yet.

there was a video of a game were an actor jumps on small planets and then gets eaten by monsters at the end of every level. how was that done? i saw it here so i think it was made in GS. might be wrong though.

any help would be appreciated and would help me continue development of my next game.

thanks!

I assume you are going left/right. here is the only way I've found, but it works well.
if player collides with moving ledge constrain player's self motion X to 150 to move right -150 to move left(or whatever speed your ledge moves at)
if the ledge is changing between left and right you'll need a global attrebute so both the ledge and the player know which way the ledge is moving

hope that helps

what if it is a platform that moves in circular motion around a point that can be moved with your finger?

Maybe yo can do this:
Create a attribute in the game, index type, so we can storage there the value of the platform
Next the platform can save in this attribute his position.x, you can create a timer that do this every 0 seconds
Next you can make the actor when collides with the plattform, and when it does you can make it Constrain Attribute Actor.x to this attribute.
Check this example.

Make sure your player sees the platform as ground and increase the friction.
