== Using Platforms ==
[[Industrial Park (level editor)|Industrial Park]] has a Generic Platform [[../Asset Templates/|template]]. After placing the template, you '''must''' assign it a model yourself, otherwise the game will crash.
You can check [[Asset#Entity Assets|Entity Assets]] and [[../Editing Assets/#Gizmos|Gizmos]] for general information about placement of Entity assets. [[../SIMPs/#Animations|Animations]] and [[../SIMPs/#Drivenby|Drivenby]] of SIMPs apply the same way for PLATs.
== Movement Preview ==
This is a function available in Industrial Park, under Display. When on, platforms, [[../Buttons/|buttons]] and other assets will move similarly to how they should in the game. This method is '''experimental''' and the preview is '''not accurate to the game''', specially on more complex movement types (such as Slide+Rotate on Mechanism). Always test your platform movements ingame.
== Events ==
All [[../SIMPs/#Events|events which work for SIMPs]] function the same way on PLATs. Other events are also used on PLATs:
* '''Run''': send this to a platform to make it start moving.
Line 19:
* '''Mount''': this is sent by the platform to itself when the player lands on top of it.
* '''Dismount''': this is sent by the platform to itself when the player jumps off of it.
* '''Mount''' (another use): if a [[PKUP]] asset sends this to a platform, it will follow its movement. This is the pickup's equivalent of [[../SIMPs/#Drivenby|Drivenby]].
* '''Reset''': send this to a platform and it will instantly return to its initial position.
* '''SetSpeed''': send this to a platform to override the speed with the value in the first argument. This only works for some platform types.
Line 93:
=== Springboard ===
This is a platform that bounces you after you land on it. See [[../Springboard Tutorial/]] for a detailed explanation.
The Motion section is ignored as this platform doesn't move (but it can be Drivenby a platform that does!).
