Moving platform

lefoosh

I'm making a 2d game and I'd like to make some moving platforms that the character has to jump from one to the other and when he lands on them he needs to move with them.

Is this possible or should I have the camera move instead and make the character leap from one to the other as the camera pans left to right?

Thanks,

Kris

For that, you'd need to implement a custom motion controller.  The latest update makes this a fair way easier, but it still requires a custom solution - AC isn't natively meant for platform games, though it can be extended to be so.

Yeah - was a stupid idea as it's not how these games should play either!

Have decided to have disappearing floors if you step on the wrong area, the floor graphic will shake and 'fall away' leaving you for a cartoon fall if you havent moved off of the spot quick enough.

The further into the room you get the faster the floor falls away...!

Thanks for your help as always!
