hi again

sorry i seem to be a noob but i have a new problem:
i am trying to control a moving platform with a trigger. the trigger works. if the moving platform has no name in the 'trigger name' field it works too.

it simply doesn't work if i try to let the moving platform go up when i activate the trigger. Is there some kind of a trick i must use to make that work?

thx for your ideas and help.

ps: i already tried to flag the 'bnocollide' to true, like it is told in the examples in the tutorials (the one with the door). The funny thing: if i make the platform a door it works with the trigger (but you cant move standing on a moving door )

Are you using the MovingPlatform Entity?

I would suggest using the Model and setting key frames for the start location and finish and setting a trigger to start the moving.

You might check out the trigger section in the online docs

This might help you out with models, its for a door but you can use the same process to create a moving platform.

That's what I use for my platforms and it works like a charm.

thx for your help. You gave me the final clue!

When i tried letting the animation of the platform only be started by a trigger i wasnt able to stand on it meanwhile.
I used a trigger AND a movingplatform, both triggered by the same trigger. that finally worked

thx alot!
