I made a game that didn't use custom movements.. then it came and bit me in the arse 2 months later Ironically, Construct did that engine perfectly well with built-in movement, but buggered up the sprite clones.
Oh, there's a bunch of extensions that make the game work as well as most custom engines without the annoying hassle of 2-4 detectors per sprite. Lol, Nash, hurry up and make a game. I liked the turn-based fighting dungeon crawler thingy you made before. I'm pretty sure MMF2 could handle that now.

Custom platform movement is now very easily done with the Custom Platform Object. I myself don't use it, but the people who do says it works like a charm.

I'll have to try this "Custom Platform Movement" object to see if it lives up to the hype surrounding it.
I thinks its really helpful if you can't make an engine
I don't use it, I still think it's more flexible for the really complex things if you make it yourself from scratch. But as always, my onion, my onion.
But actually, I had never heard of a Tamagotchi until they tried to make a comeback a few years ago. I thought the gigapets were the only things like that.
The PMO is pretty genius, saves you doing all the fastloop stuff, messing about with detectors and makes it easy to attach animations to movements. Unless you plan to do something very unusual, the PMO can handle all the movements you could need (wall jump, swimming, flying, low grav, springs etc).
The only time where I wouldn't use it for a platformer is in a Sonic-like game with complicated physics, but then again I'd never make one of them anyway.
PMO is my fav extension, being crap at programming custom platform movements lolol. I just wish it could use spread values and control more than on object, would be amazing
