Platform that drops when landed on... [solved]

Hey, I'm wondering how to make a platform that will hover in the air. But when an actor lands on it - the actor bounces off and the platform falls to the ground...

Any help would be most appreciated! 

In the collision events for the player (can reverse the actors to do it in the platform's events):

when self hits (actor of type FallingPlatform)
  Set y-speed of self to -50
  Set y-speed of (actor of type) to 30

Something like that should give you the desired effect.

I'm pretty new to this. Just tried this and the actor went straight through the platform. 

Not sure where I've gone wrong with the event coding...

Check your collision groups and make sure the player's group is set to hit the platform actor (and that neither is a sensor).

My preference was to have two actors for this - one set to "cannot move" and the other affected by gravity. Both should look the same, obviously. Then, when the "cannot move" one detects the player touching it, after a brief countdown it kills itself and replaces itself with the gravity one.
