Constraining an actor to another actor's movement

ottophobia

I want to press once to make ACTOR 1 leap onto a moving ACTOR 2, get stuck on that moving ACTOR 2 and then when I press again have ACTOR 1 leap off of moving ACTOR 2. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I highly recommend watching @jamie_c's platformer tutorial which covers what you asked about and so much more: http://gamedevelopment.tutsplus.com/series/danger-droids-create-a-platformer-in-gamesalad--gamedev-13301.

I couldn't find anything useful in his tutorial. Any other suggestions?

He has a video that covers how to make an actor jump onto and then off of a moving platform.

I want the actor to overlap the moving platform not just jump onto it.

I would think that if you learned how to make an actor jump on (on top of) and off of a moving platform and then learned about constraining actors' positions you would be able to do that.
