Moving platforms for frogger type level

I'm looking at trying to develop a level that will go from right to left, with vertical moving platforms you can step onto, and move across as a safe path over damage tiles that would be something like lava or water. I've searched quite a bit and was surprised to find not a lot of support or forums for this idea. Any info helps! Thanks

One option would be to make the platforms into sprites and use the Below Actor in the event window. That would allow you to have custom routes for said platforms while also being able to stand on them. As for having your actor stay on the platform as it moves would require common event eventing and spatial variables which I am not a wizard of <_<

Yea i think thats the hardest part right now, having the player move along the ground with the event, but then also being able to step off at will

Well, I think it might be possible to make your character follow the tiles.
You'll have to keep track of the tiles X and Y coordinates, and set a variable to those numbers.
Next, you can go in the events tab of each tile, and set a conditional branch, which checks if the player is on that tile.
When the player is on that tile, adjusts it's location with "Transfer player", and instead of using a direct designation, use the variables that you created for those tiles.
Ofcourse you'll have to remove the fade to black.

Now I'm not sure wether this works as you intended, I think it might be a possible solution.
(Haven't tested it myself, so keep that in mind :p )
