How do I make the player a floating sprite?

Hi! first time posting.

I just started my first game and I am trying to have the player sprite float. The character has tiny wings so it can only hover above ground. How can I make it so in game? I am using the Platformer behavior to move him.

Thanks in advance and Happy New Year!

Should be no problem using a sprite with the platform behaviour and pinning your sprite to it..

either that or you can have multiple events set the gravity of the player.

Thank you LittleStain and kathleen, I just tried the pinning the sprite to another object and it works. However, I lost the up and down movement of the animation, I still have the wings moving but it doesnt move up and down.

Here is the .capx file https://www.dropbox.com/s/hq1qtaxv0gjgk ... .capx?dl=0

Also, what do you mean by "gravity events", would that be for setting a distinct gravity environments to the whole layout?

Again, thank you both and anyone else that jumps in. =)

maybe this will help?

Miu3 Thank! That actually looks pretty cool.

I played around a bit more and found this to work better for me: https://www.dropbox.com/s/r9n7wsr9ftpjv ... .capx?dl=0

The only problem I am having now is that the character sprite's collision box isn't working, not sure why?

Edit - It kinda works... If I collide with something above me, it works but I can run through a platform if its at the right height.

It's because of your player boxes collision polys. You can make the fly float without the player box by going into its animations and changing the collision box so that there is a ton of space underneath the fly and then applying it to the whole animation, but first you're going to want to extend the canvas size to 35 and align the fly to the center. then give the fly the controls you have on the player box so that you can move back and forth.

kathleen Thanks you! I'll fix it tonight after I get out of work. =)
