I was wondering how to make a platform character gravitate toward a solid object, and allow the character to jump between solid objects. If that isn't possible, I'd like to know how to make sideways gravity. Thanks!

Maybe try picking the nearest solid object, and calculating the angle difference between it and your character object (eg: GravAngle).

Then move your object at your chosen speed (eg: GravSpeed) towards this angle:

X = Character.X + GravSpeed * Cos(GravAngle - 90)

Y = Character.Y + GravSpeed * Sin(GravAngle - 90)

Might need some tinkering for calculating the angle difference, and whether or not the - 90 is required though (as this is used to move at the angle an object is facing).
