Platforms

[Seiryu33]

This is one that is a little hard to explain, but a common aspect to 2d platformers is being able to jump onto platforms from below. I'm not sure how to go about programming them. Only way I can think of is triggering Colliders being created onto the platform in question. Anyone know a more expedient way to do it?

The way I did it for a 2d platformer I made was to use a plane with a mesh collider on it- this worked most of time- it would sometimes throw the player high into the air though-

You could also keep track of the y position of the player- and when the player enters a trigger on the platform check the players y pos- if it is less than the platform then disable it- if its more than enable it

You could also have a trigger on the underside of the platform that enable a collider on top of it when the player exits the trigger-

Just a few ideas- hope that helps-
