How can I make an actor drop down through a solid platform?

Kangavark

I'm creating my very first game, an endless runner with multiple levels to run on. I saw TSB's tutorial about making a platform that can be jumped through from below, but I also want the actor to be able to drop down to the platform below. Any tips?

thanks!

You have to setup your collision behavior inside a rule so that it only collides when certain conditions are met. Then you setup your conditions based on say a boolean attribute and you can essentially turn the collision on and off when ever you need it.

I do not understand the question. If you mean how does an actor drop from one platform to another he will do it if you have a gravity setting (or velocity setting on the actor in the Y). So when not on a platform the character will 'fall' naturally.

My apologies for not being clearer. Picture a screen with 2 parallel lines across it, each one being a solid platform that the actor can run across. The bottom line is the ground, the top line is the "2nd floor".

I want the actor to be able to jump from the ground floor to the 2nd floor (by jumping through it and landing on top of it) by the press of a button, and then I want the actor to be able to drop down through the 2nd floor back to the ground by pressing a different button.

Basically, I need the actor to move through the 2nd floor either by jumping or dropping down through it, without having to create holes or gaps in the platform.
