When self.linear.Y is < 0
collide with cloud

when self.linear.Y is <0
AND overlaps with cloud

accelerate 90

this should let you jump through the cloud and then jump off of it when you hit it on your way down.

I've noticed FMG hasn't been on the forums much lately.
I can only assume he is at work like a mad scientist creating a platformer only to be rivaled by the likes of the Italian plumber himself.

DanielAvni

that was deep !@#$% dude. Haha

scitunes should i use gravity? because when i press the key left/right i slow down almost like im walking in mid air. what should i use maybe its becouse i have it to change velocity? what do you think?

You need to keep track of the main player's X and Y positions in global game Attributes.
Do this with Constrain Attributes in the player:

Constrain Attribute
game.PlayerX = self.Position.X

Constrain Attribute
game.PlayerY = self.Position.Y

In the cloud platform, create a Rule like this:

Rule
When game.PlayerY >= (self.PositionY + self.Height/2)
Collide with Player

That will give you a very basic cloud platform.

I am still working on the platformer tutorials. They are still not perfect. I will release them when they are. I have been very busy lately, and haven't had time to work on them...

DanielAvni

how are you so smart haha thanks dude and have any idea what i should do about gravity and all that?

firemaplegames

i would just put an accelerate behavior in the player in the down direction. 270 degrees. try a speed of 500 to start with..

Hey DanielA, you just need to do this..

You need to keep track of the main player's X and Y positions in global game Attributes.

Constrain Attribute
game.PlayerX = self.Position.X

Constrain Attribute
game.PlayerY = self.Position.Y

That will give you a very basic cloud platform.

EDIT: O darn, FMG JUST beat me to the solution. You would think he copied me though with how similar our answers are! Hey maybe QS isn't the only Time Traveling Bovine???
