Does anyone have a working example of this? I also want the player to be able to jump through them and down through them by holding down. Thanks in advance.

Smirnoff Registered 14/05/2009 Points 356	24th May, 2009 at 04:06:34 - I'd like to see it, thanks.

Smirnoff Registered 14/05/2009 Points 356	24th May, 2009 at 04:48:31 - And if someone has a example from the article working I'd like to see that too. Again, I must be missing some as I keep falling through the platform even with that code.
MrPineapple the fruitiest word i know Registered 14/10/2008 Points 1449	24th May, 2009 at 18:19:41 - make sure your player doesnt have the built in platform movement still set... thats the mistake i made i am STILL a talking pineapple!
Smirnoff Registered 14/05/2009 Points 356	24th May, 2009 at 19:09:20 - No, I'm using the platform movement object.
MrPineapple the fruitiest word i know Registered 14/10/2008 Points 1449	24th May, 2009 at 20:20:38 - yeah well i had both at one point, which is why my player fell through moving platforms.. took me ages to work out what was wrong i am STILL a talking pineapple!

I have nothing set to the player object. Just the PMO. Does anyone have a working example of moving platforms that you can jump through?

Hey Smirnoff, Assault Andy, one of the administrators on this site, is very talented with the Platform Movement Object. He developed a core engine for our game, Captain Plokey, using the PMO. He also wrote one of the very first tutorials on the PMO back in 2003: http://www.clickteam.info/kb/start/index.php?showtopic=190 As for an example, I took Andy's core engine for Captain Plokey and inserted the graphics I created for my Custom Platform Movement engine. I also organized the code using the same system I had in the CPM engine: http://jessandmichelle.com/files/plokey/PlatformMovement-PMO-AssaultAndy.mfa This engine includes most of the features you'd want in a basic platform engine: Walking Jumping (variable height) Springs Conveyors Vertical Moving Platforms Horizontal Moving Platforms Slopes (via the PMO) If you want more advanced features (e.g. ladders, etc.), you may be able to strip some of them from my CPM engine (or others) and (with some modification) insert them into the PMO engine. Here's the CPM engine I'm working on: http://www.create-games.com/project.asp?id=1571
Smirnoff Registered 14/05/2009 Points 356	27th May, 2009 at 07:13:46 - I appreciate your examples, however they all suffer from my problem as well. As soon as you add in vertical scrolling, everything becomes jittery.
Jess Bowers Cake > Pie Registered 09/01/2009 Points 310	27th May, 2009 at 15:56:46 - That may be a problem with your camera. How are you scrolling the screen? Are you following the sprite or do you have a separate camera object?
Smirnoff Registered 14/05/2009 Points 356	27th May, 2009 at 17:32:16 - I do not have a separate camera object yet, however I wouldn't think I would need one for simple smooth scrolling. I have edited the examples you gave me to include vertical scrolling and they have the same jittering effect. See here: http://DIExero.googlepages.com/Plokey-vert.mfa And here: http://DIExero.googlepages.com/pmo-with-vert.mfa
Jess Bowers Cake > Pie Registered 09/01/2009 Points 310	27th May, 2009 at 22:29:08 - Yeah, that's a camera problem. If I get permission from the developer, I'll post an updated version of the pmo-with-vert.mfa and show you how the camera corrects that issue. I'll let you know when I get permission (since its not my code).
Smirnoff Registered 14/05/2009 Points 356	28th May, 2009 at 02:37:05 - I would greatly appreciate that. I will credit you and the developer for your help.

Far from it. I think you're thinking of CNC. MMF 1.5 was drastically different from TGF1... even more so than MMF2 is I'd say.
Smirnoff Registered 14/05/2009 Points 356	28th May, 2009 at 04:39:50 - I find it funny how you're having a conversation completely outside the topic of this thread.
Ricky loves Left For Dead 2 Registered 28/12/2006 Points 4075	28th May, 2009 at 05:40:53 - CNC was just a super expensive version of TGF i thought -

MMF 1.5 wasn't a release of TGF with extensions, CNC was. Then they added support for CNC extensions in TGF1, if I remember correctly... MMF 1.5 was a completely separate program.
Smirnoff Registered 14/05/2009 Points 356	28th May, 2009 at 21:27:48 - MMF 1.5 isn't that old, is it? KNP->TGF->CNC=MMFE->MMF->MMF1.5->TGF2/MMF2/MMF2D Settled.
