Actor Stay On Horizontal Moving Platform

robert.mccarthy

Hi All,

Just a quick one (probably easy fix).

I have a platform/lift which moves horizontal back and forth. My actor can step on it, but when the lift moves the actor doesn't stay on.

Any ideas how I get him to stay on the lift when it moves?

Cheers,

Anyone before the question gets lost within the system?

make 2 real attributes and 1 interger , call them whatever ill use stickx and sticky, and stickon as examples

make a rule in the player when actor collides with platform change stickx to self postion x, change stick y to self postiion y, and change stickon to 1

make another rule in the player when attriube stickon=1
constrain self position x to stickx
and constrain self positiony to stick y

then whatever rule you have to move the player, change attribute stickon to 0 whne a move happens to cancel the stick.

for a move example say you have a attribute movelft and have a rule in a button when touch is pressed change moveleft to 1 and when touch is release change move left to 0, put another change attribute behavior in the when touch is pressed rule and change stickon to 0

cheers

I initially thought of this, but it is a large platform and I wanted my actor to move about on the platform while it was moving.

Have you tried messing around with the drag and or friction settings on the platform?
