How to Make Platforms that Move the Player

Animated platforms in Blocksmith do not pull the Player along with them. To move the Player along with an animated platform, you need to create a platform that has walls. Instead of it moving out from under you, the platform acts like a bucket and moves the Player along with it. Here is how to do so:

1. Add some objects (like cubes) to be short "walls" around the edge of the platform you want to move the Player:

Tip: Do not animate the platform yet. If you do, then only the base will move and the walls will be left behind.

2. Group the walls with the platform base.
3. Now animate the platform group so it moves to the location you want:

4. Change the animation settings so it moves rather quickly. Slow moving platforms will still work, but you will see a jittery effect. Also have it loop back and forth so it doesn't animate only once:

5. Then to make the walls invisible so it appears like a normal platform, use Edit Group on the animated platform. Select each wall, then lower their A (alpha) channel to 0:

You should have a platform that smoothly moves the Player when they jump on it!

You can see a demo of this in the experience Platforms that Move the Player.
