How do I implement magnet behaviors in a platformer?

I'm looking to implement magnets in a platformer that attract/repel the player toward them based on their polarity. Specifically, as seen in this thread: https://www.construct.net/en/forum/construct-2/how-do-i-18/how-do-i-implement-magnet-beha-49990?kws=magnet (the links are now 404s).

However, using the standard platformer behavior with a force toward the magnet with physics doesn't interact well with each other (platformer behavior is unaffected by the physics attraction), so any assistance is appreciated. Thank you!

Hello,

You can't really mix Physics with another movement behavior. You should do all your movements with Physics only. Maybe you should mention R0J0hound to get its attention and ask him if he still has the links.

Anyway, you can set X and Y vectors of the 8 Direction behavior to point toward a "magnet" object when close enough.
