Hi eveyone, I've been tinkering for way too long trying to figure this rather simple thing out, but I can't seem to get it right. I've included a picture to help, I have two platforms with a player sensor on it, attached to a piston. What I'm trying to do is: http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5068/5613134933_1a70ccc0c6.jpg (http://www.flickr.com/photos/littlebigdes/5613134933/) When the player jumps on it it starts to slowly sink (towards the lethal gas) and they have a few seconds to jump off to the next one before it completely sinks. Second, if the player doesn't make it and dies I want my the platform to go back up, resets itself to its original height. Then the sequence starts again when the jumps on it again. How do I do this? I've tried a counter set to 1 and to it's reset. I've tried a toggle and direction splitter and various other things. I've tried changing the settings of the piston to one-cycle, backwards/forwards and on/off. I can't seem to get it working. ___________________________________________

If the platform moving is done via pistons, then this is very easy. Simply set the piston to forwards/backwards, and then attach the player sensor to it. If you still don't understand, please specify what you're having trouble with.

Yep the above suggestion is how I did mine. Set pistons for directional. You may have to invert the pistons too depending on how it's set up.

If you only want it when they're set foot on it, try the above suggestion and instead try an impact sensor. Haven't tested it but it may work.

I tried impact sensors at first on mine and they work but they get a bit jittery. When sackboy is standing on the surface it doesn't always read as a constant impact.

I think it'd be possible to trigger a sequencer doing the required actions when the sackboy sets foot on it but this may be overkill.

Thanks everyone. I never thought about inverting it, I tried the forwards/backwards but not with inverting the pistons. It's my first level so I'm still learning as I go. It's a level where you have to explore underground and rescue two kids and guide them back out to safety. So I'll give it go later and post back UPDATE: YES all done, 'A' ok, attached the player sensor to the piston. The piston is set to forwards/backwards BUT the motion setting on the piston is now changed to REVERSED:YES. Inverted the motion and it works, perfectly. Fiddling with logic has made me look at things too complicated then what they really are.
