How do I make moving platforms?

I know there is a tutorial on this somewhere, I just cannot find it.

I want to make my platforms go back and forth.

Ashley makes the snails move back and forth in his tutorial with invisible boxes. Is this the same technique that I would use to move platforms?

Would this affect the Player if he happens to run into one of them?

Have you looked at the built-in examples and templates?

One of the 'Platform' templates includes moving platforms.

Start a New project. In the search box type 'platform', It's the second template down called 'Template:Platformer'.

I'll try that.

thanks.

I think I have enough information to figure it out from that one.

Thanks again. You seem to always be there for me and it is very appreciated.

A little trick I like to use sometime is cosp()

cosp(a,b,x) basically will move a platform from a to b in timeframe x and then back again , either up and down or left and right .

ex: system.everytick-->sprite.set x cosp(50,400,time/3) or sprite.set y cosp(100,400,time/3)

its fast and easy and only uses 1 event , you can change the time it takes with the last parameter .
