How to make an Escalator

Hello Guys,

Anybody have an example of an escalator that works moving the player to the next floor of the game?

Im not sure how i can implement this.

Quick fix:

1) Create an object with path movement that moves in a line of the escalator.
2) Event Editor: When the play collides with it, you start the object movement.
3) Event Editor: When the object is moving, always set the player's XY coordinates to the position of the object.

Hey Agarcia,

I asked a similar question about how to move diagonally recently. Schrodinger answered with this. Use this formula with the event that will trigger it. Good luck!

Chrille and Emerson3

Thanks for the help, seems it is not that hard, maybe i was too tired to think last night.

I will try it and post an example here in case someone else need it.

No prob!

Yeah, please post.

Hey guys i did some quick tests here on my lunch break.

Using a object on a path moviment works, but there is a problema that the player could jump before the escalator and land on the half of it, in this case the escalator wont work propely.

Emerson3. I could not find a way to implement the direction example, i need the player to move automatically to the position on the end of the escalator.

Hi Agarcia,

I made you an example here, how to do something like that here is the video

Hey Sparckman,

Thats just like the example Chrille said, but i was trying to do it with the actual player thats why it was not working correctly in my first try.

Thanks for the example, im sure i can now make this work like i need to.

For the record i found an old old school game that have the same escalator effect im trying to make.

Ps: not many people remember Elevator Action that was a nice example.

Hey All,

First thanks all for the help, i ended using a mix of all ideas to implement what i wanted to do.

Im posting the example of my Escalator to anyone who may need somewthing like that in future.

Take a look on it guys and if anyone have any more ideas im glad to hear.

Thanks again

thanks agarcia! that was actually a good example using the formula.

I just noticed your example hahaha it's pretty good,
I made another simple way XD
