On the demo, the player is still "Jumping" when the elevator is going at bottom.

Any fix for that?

Thanks

Pablo, are you talking about this? Let me know and if so, I'll look into it.

yea that jumping/bounce on platforms is annoying :-)

Did anyone figure out how to make the player stick to the platform rather than jump up when the platform reaches the top and moves the opposite direction?

Yes, check to the see if the player is standing on the platform and apply a small force into the platform:

if (other.pos.y < this.pos.y) {
    other.standing = true;
    other.vel.y = ig.game.gravity / 4;
}

Thanks quidmonkey!

quidmonkey, just wanted to make sure you were talking about placing the code within the check() function of the Platform entity? If so, the code doesn't seem to be making the player stick.

I'll have a bit more of a play around and see what I can do.

type: ig.Entity.TYPE.B,
checkAgainst: ig.Entity.TYPE.A,
collides: ig.Entity.COLLIDES.FIXED,
check: function(other) {
    if (other.pos.y < this.pos.y) {
        other.standing = true;
        other.vel.y = ig.game.gravity / 4;
    }
}

Put it in collideWith, and the gravity / 4 is likely too strong. Try gravity / 8 or 10.

The following works beautifully:

type: ig.Entity.TYPE.B,
checkAgainst: ig.Entity.TYPE.A,
collides: ig.Entity.COLLIDES.FIXED,
collideWith: function(other, axis) {
    if (other.pos.y < this.pos.y) {
        other.standing = true;
        other.vel.y = ig.game.gravity / 8;
    }
}

Thanks @quidmonkey.
