Making an Active Object a Platform?

[RetroRain]

According to this tutorial, if you are only going to make a few blocks "platform" type, you should make them Active Objects instead. But how do you make an active object behave like a platform? I tried messing with the events, but I'm not having any luck.

The reason why, is that I am using the Platform Movement Object, and when I made a background object a "platform", my character would just "rise" through it to the top, which shouldn't be happening.

Any advice? I just want to add a few platforms that you can jump through, but stand on top of them, and I am using the Platform Movement Object. Thanks.

I haven't used the PMO, but I'm assuming you could just set a flag when the player is jumping, then turn it off when the player is falling. Then put a "is flag off" check in that "rise to the top" event working when the jump flag is on.

I figure it's rising the character to the top because it's detecting overlap so it's wanting to place the character on top of the platform instead of letting the player pass through it.

The problem is that PMO can't detect "MMF platforms", you have to tell it when an object collides with the condition callback. So to make an active a platform, just use the "On overlaps platform..." + "Player overlaps Active" => "Trigger platform overlap" (something like that).. the examples also show this, as far as I remember.

I tried that, but it doesn't really work. Sometimes my character can jump on the platform, but if he walks along it, he falls off.

I'm going to try that right now. I'll let you know if it works. Thanks.

Not only does the character rise to the top, but you can't even jump to the top of the platform. It acts like a solid. I tried both backdrop and active object properties and events, and nothing will work. I guess I'm stuck right now.
