script to keep sprite on a moving platform?

Jedi_Edrich

Does anyone know a simple script to keep a sprite on a moving platform. Not looking for something overly complicated. Thanks!

Assuming that the platform moves 1, do this:

Basically, all you do is make sure that the sprite moves the same as the platform as long as it's touching the platform. That's what I did in my Frogger clone (https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/56306968/). This way, you can move OFF the platform once you're on it.

Maybe you can do this: (make sure you have slope detection in you platforming script)

Thanks for the tips - I will try these.

Did you see the link I posted on your profile? There is a working version of the script, please look!

Check out Shaun's Platform Game https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/21899025/ it has moving platforms.
Check out the whole course.

is the platform moving up and down, or sideways like a conveyor belt?

in any case, whatever x/y delta is being applied to the platform, the same offset should be applied to the player assuming it is touching the platform. taking care to move the character in the same refresh cycle as the platform, before both are drawn together. (to avoid jittering)

this topic is from 2017, if you are having issues, make a new topic.
also, every script can only work when it's put in the right place. are you sure it's in the correct loop, in the right sprite, and that this is what you need for your situation?

i assume the problem is that your platform moves up and down, is using some costume movement setup, or your player isn't colliding with it correctly.

to make it so it doesn't teleport to the middle of the platform, you could do this:

You can get the

block from old projects, and backpack it. here is a project that I made that has that block:

make a variable called “resting x speed” set this to zero if you aren't on a moving platform and set this to the speed of the moving platform you are on (if you are on a moving platform.) Now, for all the movement scripts along the X axis, instead of changing the x by a certain amount, change the x by the wanted amount + resting x speed.

Hey folks - thanks for helping out! However, this topic is old (from 2015) - so I doubt the topic owner is still looking for answers. I would suggest looking for newer threads (that still need to be answered) and respond to those instead.
