The problem:
I have say five moving platforms, and attached to a moving platform there should be two active objects, serving as "ledge-grab-obejcts" which you can grab. To make those grab-objects follow the moving platforms I spread a number in all moving platforms (used as identification) and then, if a grab-object is overlapping the moving platform I know they should be connected to each other, so I set the grab-objects value "connectedTo" to the ID of the platform it is overlapping. So now, each platform has an ID and all grab-objects has a value which says which platform it is connected to.
Each platform has a value xMove which tells the platform how many pixels it will move each 1/100 second.
Like, if xMove == 1 the platform will move one pixel to the right.
Then I check this event every 1/100 seconds:
if grab-object is overlapping moving platform and ID(moving platform) == connectedTo(grab-object) then:
set X(grab-object) to X(grab-object) + xMove(moving platform)
However, this does not work. The grab-objects move but they don't stay attached to the right platform. How can this happen?
Thanks

yeah, but the problem is that I have to keep track of two objects, not only one. only one grabber should move according to only one platform
