[SOLVED] Isometric/Top-Down Moving Platforms

Hello!

I am wondering how I'd go about making top down platforms work. My character is using the 8 Direction and Custom Movement behaviors (for some collisions).

I can't figure out how to get the player to stay with the platform and move around on it while the platform moves. Any help is appreciated!!!!

Here's a vid on what I'm talking about

I'd suggest a parallax layer.

Move the player to the parallax layer when it changes levels.

You can alter the all the layers parallax at runtime.

Hey newt !!

Thanks for the reply, although that isn't really what I'm looking for. I'm looking for help with the math involved as this is a big learning experience for me.

Here's the cap so you can see a few things I've tried (They aren't very good lol). I Just can't get my head around it... <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_redface.gif" alt=":oops:" title="Embarrassed">

Why Classic ? Just wondering.

Hahaha Good question. I'll most likely make the switch eventually. I didn't like the idea of using the browser window when C2 first came out. It seems like the switch is inevitable, though. However, I'm still learning all this logic magic. I'll figure it out one day, though. I keep trying to make little steps without bugging the forum too much lol

Thanks so much for the help, I'm very impressed!! Just the thing I was looking for.

Also, thank you newt for shedding light on an alternative solution.

I do understand avoiding browsers, they are a PITA.

But ! When i mess with Classic (as i did for this), i see and feel how much C2 envolved to something awesome compared to Classic. Is there a way to push you to try it ?

I think you've convinced me, to be honest. I have been thinking about switching for awhile. Unfortunately, I am the deepest I've ever gotten into a game with my current CC project. But I promise after I'm done with it, I will make the switch to C2. I just can't justify moving everything over to a different engine when I haven't run into any substantial problems (knock on wood lol) I do realize that I'm going to need to make the switch. Thank you for the advice.

Thank you again and I'll probably have more questions in the future
