Player falling through active objects question.

[Worf]

Hi.

I have tried everything to get the player to stand on active objects with out any luck.

What reasons are there as to why my player just falls through active objects and not stand on them like the lift?

Many Thanks

Standing on something that moves (like a lift) is quite complicated to do, and MMF's built-in platform movement doesn't support it.

For non-moving actives, you should just be able to do:
Player collides with Active: player:Stop

Hi Dynasoft.

Thank you for your reply. I have had the lift part working before in another game i was doing and i am using the same engine which uses Quick Loops yet, the player falls throught this time.

If you are using a custom platform movement, make sure that the player is programmed to colide with that particular object the same way it should with a backdrop.

Tip: Try programming your player to colide with a particular group of objects, so you can add the objects that you want your player to colide with in a particular group.

Hi izac.

It doesn't matter what i do i can not get the player to stand on any active objects and it is starting to make me mad.

Another thing you can try if you are using custom movement:

Character overlaps active
Set character (or detector)Y position to Y of character (or detector)+1

Try DavidN platform tutorial in the sidebar ---->. It has some really neat things in it.
