how to keep my character on a moving platform

Questions & Answers

I have a moving platform that moves using:

transform.position = Vector2.MoveTowards(this.transform.position, new Vector2(point.x,this.transform.position.y), speed*Time.deltaTime);

but, when my character stands on it he stays in one place and the platform moves from beneath him. I suspect this is because the platform is actually resetting it’s position gradually instead of actually moving. Is there any way I can make him move with the platform?

Two easy ways:

  • add platform’s position to character’s position

or

  • reparent the character transform to the platform transform

Try them and let us know.
