Moving platform how

coding-culture

Hello Everyone, I was just trying to program a moving platform for my game. This is my code:

extends KinematicBody2D

var speed = 1
var up = true

func _process(delta):
	var velocity =  Vector2()
	if up == true:
		velocity.x = speed
		$Timer.start()
	if up == false:
		velocity.x = -speed
		$Timer.start()
	velocity = move_and_slide(velocity, Vector2.UP)
	
func _on_Timer_timeout():
	$Timer.start()
	if up == true:
		up = false
	if up == false:
		up = true

But instead of moving up and down the platform just teleports itself the whole time between two points. Does soembody know how to fix this?

My hunch is that calling $Timer.start() every _process call is causing the issue. Try this:

extends KinematicBody2D

var speed = 1
var up = true

func _ready():
	$Timer.start()

func _process(delta):
	var velocity = Vector2()
	if up == true:
		velocity.x = speed
	else:
		velocity.x = -speed
	velocity = move_and_slide(velocity, Vector2.UP)

func _on_Timer_timeout():
	if up == true:
		up = false
	else:
		up = true
	$Timer.start()

In the code above, the timer is only called once in _ready and then reset when it's timed out. I think that should fix the issue :smile:

Sadly the code doesnt works :(

I now solved the problem. The script was working completely rihgt. The mistake was that i used a wrong node es a sprite,

It might be your indentation or something, or the timer isn't connected. The code works. The speed is really low.
