Essentials Series/Platforms: Difference between revisions

This page is part of the Essential Series modding tutorials. A '''Platform''' ([[PLAT]]) is an [[Asset#Entity Asset|entity asset]] that creates a model in the world, with all the possibilities of a [[SIMP]], but with the added functionalities. Usually, this is a programmable movement, but can be other things as well (such as springboards and conveyor belts). There are many different platform types and they can perform all sorts of functions. Platforms are, in the game, not only platforms in a literal sense. Anything that perfoms programmable patterns of movement that are not [[ANIM|Animations]] is a platform. Platforms can move on their own or be moved by [[../Links/|events]]. PLATs are usually found in the Default layer of the level's HIP.
