Falling through Moving Platform

Hello,

I've got a little problem here: I created a high room with an elevator in it (a box primitive as model + moving Platform entity). The entity has the default settings except I deactivated the collision activation and activated the use key mode (It fits my game better).
Now, when I try to use the platform, something strange happens:
1. I step onto the platform (3rd person view tells me I'm ON it, not IN it).
2. I press Use key (U by default).
3. The platform moves up and through me.
4. When it reaches my head, it's like i get dragged with it a bit before falling back to the ground.
The platform is solid (I can step onto it). It also recognizes collision (I can't walk through it). I created this type of platform earlier with Genesis itself (without RF), but that was years ago - what am I missing out?

Thanks in Advance,

cthoennes

Did you or did you not search the forum? It's all there.
Also, did you update to newer version? :wink:

Yes, I did. The latest version I found was 0.76.1 - correct me if I'm wrong, but there is no other update in the downloads area. Also, the platform doesn't move more than 500 units. I don't actually fall of - the Platform passes my body. It is not circular and after searching 7 pages again now (I already did before posting my thread), I still didn't find the solution.
I don't even get to ride it (Not 512 Texels, not even one), it moves right through me.

I know some people have somehow done it... But you can script it ;)

Sorry, I don't quite understand. You know some people have somehow done what?

I pretty much meant that I know that some people have done it, but I do not know, who... But scripting it is the best solution I guess.
