Moving Platforms In Static, Anyone know how?

[ShyGuy182]

I've been trying to do moving platforms in static, but I've had no success. Does anyone know how to do this? I'll put you in the credits.

Instead of using a path movement, use flags and set the moving platform to move X pixels every Y amount of time and toggle flag 1 when touching an invisible active object. When it's supposed to move right set the platform's flag 1 to on, and set it to move positive X pixels every Y amount of time, and when it's supposed to move left set flag 1 to off, and have it move negative X pixels every Y time. Then add:

If Z player object's bottom sensor touches the moving platform + Z player object's animation is not jumping + moving platform's flag 1 is off then move negative X pixels every Y time.
If Z player object's bottom sensor touches the moving platform + Z player object's animation is not jumping + moving platform's flag 1 is on then move positive X pixels every Y time.

Congratulations, you've got roughly the second game in MFGG's history to have working moving platforms (the first being Luigi Quest of course.)
