Moving Platforms?, Eventing moving platform Options

[UmbrotheUmbreon]

Okay so I'm trying to event a moving platform event. The platform moves to the edge, pauses for the player to get on, then carry the player so far, then move again.

The problem: The player can't get on the platform DX

Help please?

[Show/Hide] Platform Event 1

[Show/Hide] Platform Event 2

Alas! You found out one of the biggest problems concerning RM!
This engine is not suitable to do moving platform without a little scripting, you can just create a sort of "fake" platform effect this way:
(I haven't got RMVX, so I'll write it in a sort of text form)

Event 1:
Platform
Trigger:
Parallel Process

Page1:

>Variable[1] = Game Player's X
>Variable[1] -= This Event's X
>Variable[2] = Game Player's Y
>Variable[2] -= This Event's Y
>Condition: if Variable[1] == 0
>Condition: if Variable[2] == 0
Move Process: this event
Move Process: player (same movement as event)
Wait for movement completion
Wait 20 frames
>end
>end

This is a sort of placebo effect, try and let me know
I hope this can help,

See, the problem is she won't even GO on the platform, so this is basically all for nothing. The main problem is the character won't move on the platform. The platform moves just fine, but the character won't go on it when it reaches the edge.

Have you tried to make the platform "through"?
What does it mean that "she won't even go on the platform"?
I couldn't figure it out very well...

I have to make the platform "Through" or it won't move at all.
Meaning that you go to step on the platform, but instead it doesn't let you.
It's okay, I kind of gave up on the concept, but thanks for the variable formula, cause now I am using rocks with switches X3
