I have a student who I can’t seem to help much. He wants to his various platforms to move up and down. He’s not sure if he wants them to do so in a set pattern or randomly. Can someone help and provide us with sample code? thanks so much!

I think @richard made a extinction for that but it’s pretty buggy and you gotta know what your working with to get it up and running

Yeah moving platforms are hard to get right.

yeah, there isn’t a great way to do this right now as our physics engine doesn’t support moving obstacles like that. @jwunderl and I did take a stab at putting it into an extension, but we haven’t had time to polish it up so I wouldn’t recommend using it.
