Title: Custom Platform Sprites
Post by: Wizard Indie Games on July 05, 2020, 04:11:47 PM
How can I use an uploaded sprite for a platform? Also, do platforms have cusomisable settings?

Uploaded sprites cannot be used for Platforms at this time, I'm afraid. But you can change their look by messing with the sprite sheets.

Or maybe you can create a custom block and code it to have the behaviour of a platform.

Thanks. I managed to make the platform sprite sheet a template then edited that which worked OK but it isn't very intuitive because the changes don't show up in the image we use to place platforms. Also, it seems we are limited to a finite number of different platforms.

I hope this area will be developed a lot further.

Thanks, Warrior555; I will look into some workarounds although I don't think blocks can move.

You can move blocks around with commands, and you'll need to have the command looping to be every step. That is all possible. But the problem is that a moving block doesn't mean a moving character standing on the block.

Indeed. I am finding out getting an enemy to stand on a moving block is no easy thing.
