Easy Animated 2D Moving Platforms
Want to make a 2D moving platform in Godot? YouTube tutorials too hard and restricting? Scripts too confusing and difficult? You've come to the right place, it's never been more simple!- Tested on Godot 4.3 (But probably works on older and newer versions) -Now with rotation! (in 1.9+)1. Start by dropping the Platform scene into your Level2. Right click it in the scene tree3. Select Editable Children4. Move the Marker2D and Boom! Moving Platforms!FOR JUST PLATFORMS- Platforms by default are set to "Auto", this mean that they will start moving when the level is loaded.- Each platform will move independently from each other to it's selected Marker2D.- Speed and the directed Marker can be changed from the Inspector of the AnimationPlayer.- ColorRec and CollisionShape2D can be swapped out for whatever you wish to use, Tilemap is an option, whatever is inside the AnimatedBody2D 'Platform' will be moved with the animation.- Animation by default has some easing, if you wish to remove the easing simply set Easing in Inspector of AnimationPlayer to 0 (0 is off).- You can also change how long between moving, time at each station? with the Stopframe variable in the inspector, (0 is NO wait time).FOR ACTIVATED PLATFORMS- Repeat steps above, and use the additional options from the AnimationPlayer Inspector.- There are 3 other options for activated platforms; "Move", "Hold2Move", "Hold2Open". - "Move" is run so that whenever activator is pressed, a full animation forward and back will play. - "Hold2Move" is run so that the platform will continuously play it's animation forward and back while the activator is pressed. - "Hold2Open" is run so that while the activator is pressed, the platform will be at it's marker position, and when button is not pressed, it will be at it's original position.- Activator is used to set the activator for the platform, you can drag in a provided "ActivatorButton" scene into your level and link it via the platform. This will make it so that the button can control the platform animation.- However the activator can be used as any Node2D, as long as that node provides a custom signal of 'activated' and 'deactivated', then it will still work correctly with the platform.- ALSO, the "ActivatorButton" has the option to Mimic a button, this is a super handy feature if you want two separate buttons to power the same platforms. - But it also allows a button to mimic a button while also running a platform itself separately (it's easier to see if you just try the Demo scene) - Mimic Button is not required to have a connected sister button, don't connect unless you want it to mimic another button!
