Floating Platforms

I love it when code can be reused in ways you didn’t think of when writing it. These platforms are moving up and down controlled by an animation. I knew I’d need that ping pong looping mode for something!

damn those necromancers

For good measure, here’s a sample of the XML that defines the moving platform:

<XnaContent xmlns:Generic="System.Collections.Generic">
  <Asset Type="Generic:List[Throng.MovingPlatformSettings]">
    <Item>
      <Name>platform1</Name>
      <ModelName>platform1</ModelName>
      <Speed>1.5</Speed>
      <PathOffset>0</PathOffset>
      <Moving>true</Moving>
      <PingPong>true</PingPong>
      <Vertices>-1 -0.25 -1 0.25 1 0.25 1 -0.25</Vertices>
      <Path>-2 10 -2 2</Path>
    </Item>
  </Asset>
</XnaContent>
