Issue Resseting Postions

[XStar]

If you look up platformer on the search, then you can find the example Issue, you will need it to help me solve this problem. To the problem! OK, when I say, for example, Player collides with Portal, set position to a bit off from the second portal, it doesn't appear to do anything. If you do this: Repeat while A is pressed, set position to that same area, it does it, but it resets your position when you let go. How do you get it to stay there?

You probably have an event forcing your object back to its original position. Upload your mfa and I'll fix it for ya

Thanks in advance Chris!! If you set it to: Repeat while pressing A, set position to {Choose your own position}, you'll see the issue...

I've looked through your code thoroughly and there is no "Repeat while Pressing A" which you speak of...

[XStar]

No! There isn't, I'm just saying input that coding and you'll see the error! I'm trying to get it to do this: Player collision with Portal, set position to 15 X off from Portal 2! The A was just to input so that you can see the error.

The reason why it isn't working is because you have your character being constantly set to a detector. The detector is the thing that is moving, not the character himself. Change the last 2 events so that they set the detector's position instead of setting the character's position and it'll fix your problem.

Oh! Thank you so much! I entirely forgot about the detector!

Yup, no problem. It took me a while to realize what the problem was too even though it was so simple haha
