More or less. It’ll be a bit clunkier, but you can do it.

Everything you have done there in gml, can you just drag and drop the actions from the action box to make the same results?

Set the pipe’s parent to the block object that the player can stand on. Then the pipes will work exactly the same as the blocks.

Good luck.

Edit:: sorry, just read through and it didnt make sense lol. Standing on the blocks are fine, its the pipes that i;m having trouble with.

Hello Soulred12,

I am currently creating a platform game for a school assignment on water conservation, i have a few pipe objects. I have used your “SoulHow to make a platform game” for the blocks although i cannot get ObjPlayer to stand on them and jump off them etc.

If you could help me out it would be great ^^

Hey facelifter,

Try looking at my “SoulHow to make a platform game” article. The example there ends up with a fully-functional platform game with perfect collisions without using solid. It’s usually my most popular tutorial, so you should be able to find a link quickly in the “Popular articles” section of the righthand column.

I would love some advice on creating a platformer without using solid objects. I attempted to use what was discussed here in my game, but I couldn’t get it to work. Any idea where I should look?

Thanks
