How do i make a floating platform that can move around and teh dude can still land on it, and stay on it. Also, is it possible so he can go through it if comming from the bottom, basically only landing on it from falling, not smashing into it by jumping.

PS. I would love to know how to do this with the standard platform movement in MMF if possible.

thanks pancakes

Which direction do you need the platform to go in?

Basically you need to make a static active object and move it using internal flags e.g
- If 'platform' hits 'detector' (usually a black box): then toggle 'platform' flag one.
- 'Platform' Flag 1 is on: Set x position to x+2
+ every 0.05

Repeat that last event changing the flag to off and x-2.

To stay on the platform, you need to set your guy to move x-1 when the floor detector is on the platform...
- 'Floor' overlapping 'Platform': set (up counter) to 0

and also
- 'Floor' overlapping 'Platform': set guy x position to x+2
+ Internal Flag 1 is on: set animation to 'stopped'
+ Every 0.05

Repeat that for the other direction.

This will work for a custom-platform movement. Also you need to make it in your jump events so it can jump on a platform, you just add:

+ 'floor' is overlapping 'platform': set up to -n (n equals how high to jump).
+ Press jump

Hope this helps! xp

Noodle, he asked for default movement, not custom movement. Altough your idea is 'fantastic and great' it's not default. The easiest way to move the platform is using path movement.

I don't think it is. Making the path go exactly straight is annoying and you have to make a new object everytime you want a different path.

to make things simple, if you ever need a platform to go up and down, and you want your guy to stay on it. do this:

Always = set Y position of GUY +1
set Y position of GUY -1

This refreshes your guy very fast, and has worked perfectly for me in the past for platforms taking the guy up and down.
