There's even that platform object that comes with one of the Bonus Packs. But those engines mostly work on individual things. Trying to use them on all objects with the same qualifier causes all the other objects to follow the first (ie. everything else only falls when the first object falls). The question now is, how do I make a universal platform engine? I want an engine where all the objects in (Group 1) falls using the same platform engine. I think I saw some kind of "ultimate platform engine" used in a game with some furry things, but back then, I just got MMF and didn't understand it. So, any suggestions? Disclaimer: Any sarcasm in my posts will not be mentioned as that would ruin the purpose. It is assumed that the reader is intelligent enough to tell the difference between what is sarcasm and what is not.

That would be the Baastian De Jong Ultimate Platform Movement - and yes, I still have it on my hard drive n/a

Like, being able to apply physics and movement to an object just by giving it a qualifier? Yeah, it's possible. It just takes a lot of finagling, and getting around the touchy group behaviors. ...I hate to seem like I'm plugging, but: http://www.create-games.com/download.asp?id=5411 Go Moon!

I'll email it to you on Wednesday perhaps or Tuesday evening. n/a
