Moving Platforms

View MFA

I made a circular moving platform, and now I want to combine it with DavidN's platform movement. I've tried some stuff, and I figured out the X coordinate at least (Line 12):
View MFA with working X positioning

I've tried moving the event around, putting in values for the gravity and putting in values for the Y position and nothing seems to work!

Actually, even the X won't work the way I want it to - if you make it so that the detector also has to be overlapping the invisible (well, visible for now) pink platform too, the X positioning fails.

Ricky, When I tried your file there are 3 objects that are not in the frame (shows up as the bug in the event editor) left, right and spring

BTW: My PEWP can do all that (thought I'd put that plug in there ;) )

Ah cool.

Yes I know those objects are missing. It shouldn't matter.

A few more things, you draw platforms by clicking and releasing, then test by pressing enter.

Well, you should store an alterable value that is the difference in Y position between the Old Y and the Current Y, or New Y. Then just add that number to the player's position while they are on the platform ;)

I did.

It failed - want proof?

You do realize that fastloop names can have spaces in them, right? ;)

lol I forgot.. :D

Aw I was soo excited to see it, and as I was playing with it I was like, THIS IS AWESOME!

Then I made the detector and the platform (pink one) invisible and tested it some more, and at random times the player would just fall throw :(

I'm really appreciating all the help guys! Thanks a ton :)

After a night to think about it, I think I'm close:

I used some ideas I gathered from lost_child, LB and Viewtiful, and somehow, it worked. Now I just need to somehow make the jumping relative so that you jump higher, and then make the animations work. [strike]I already made an attempt by using a flag to indicate the change, but I tried the same thing for walking and it didn't seem to work?[/strike]

I figured it out! I changed the order because each time it would do the jumping animation before the stopped or walking, so the walking animation got reset each time. Time for another upload: View MFA

Alright, now jumping relativity, then I'm done :D !!

I'm making great progress! :D thanks again for all the interesting help!
