Will it ever come?

In my game I use the platform movement object for my character. I know It's full of glitches and bugs like no jump strength differential for characters or hit detection causes them to be in a "helpless" state when falling back down. And while the platform movement object is good and fine, I'm.....a little too far into development to use it. And the thing that I like about the default platform movement is I can make animations for him give him the movement and be done with it. That's the wonder of it being a movement and I can let him switch movements easily to where he can swim or fly or do other things. I can't seem to do that with the platform movement object. Basically what i'm saying is, while i'm not above the programming it takes for the platform movement object, I would rather something I can just apply to my object and go with the tightness of the platform movement object but the easy application for the default platform movement. Can someone tell me if there is a movement pack out there for something like that? All the time when I try and get help for my game using this movement they say "Default platform movement sucks....you should use platform movement object." Without knowing really that, yeah It is a much better platformer physics engine but it's also limiting at the same time. I was just wondering to see if there was something out there that could make my life a little easier?

There are a couple of examples on the tutorials page, of completely event-based platform movements which you can download and build on without having to touch their events yourself. Although if you're far on with a game and it's difficult to change at this stage, I would finish it with the existing movement.

Do you know any specific good ones?

In the Tutorials in the side bar----->DavidN has a nice custom movement. It uses fastloops.
