Jump across a platform

[kimono]

Hello everyone,
My question may seem simple:
how can you place yourself under a platform, jump and land on it?
Nohithead 1 doesn't seem to be enough, I guess we need to get a script?
Thank you for your help

I tested it in my Super Mario template and was able to replicate this effect by just erasing the "height" value in the character header.
Optionally it can be done in the character's update/think/ondraw scripts using the checkplatform() commands and then changing the subject_to_platform property depending on the current position related to the platform.

Thanks Kratus, it works perfectly and problem solved
Is it possible to create a simple function that then allows you to go back down from the platform by pressing Down and the jump key?

Yes, you can either make a freespecial or a SLIDE anim and turn off the subject_to_platform for the first frame and turn it on again on the next one like this:

anim freespecial16 #platform
loop 0
delay 5
landframe 3
@script
void self = getlocalvar("self");
if(frame ==0)changeentityproperty(self,"subject_to_platform",0);
if(frame >=1)changeentityproperty(self,"subject_to_platform",1);
@end_script
frame ...
frame...

Thanks O'Ilusionista, it's very clever to use the Slide function to do this.
I'll do some tests when I get home

or even better - you can use a freespecial for that (like I do) so I can use it as a cancel from DUCK, so this will only work on 2D stages, not on 3D ones - as SLIDE works all the time

That is correct but remember to give enough time for the entity to drop through the platform before turning it on again. If you turn it on too early, entity might teleport back to top of platform as if the entity never drops.
