When a player character stands on a moving platform, they are transported when it moves, which is exactly what’s desired.
However, when the platform is teleported to a location or drops away fast, the player should stay in place and start to fall. Instead, they are currently firmly attached to the platform and are teleported with it.
How can actors and pawns be detached from the platforms they are standing on using C++?
Before teleporting the platform switch the player’s movement mode to falling.
Another less optimal way would be to set the collision of the platform to no collision and wait for about 2 frames worth before teleporting the platform and restoring collision but this is the same as the first solution because the character movement will switch to falling state after detecting no platform beneath the player.
So simple, thanks!
Manually changing the movement mode will open up a lot of flexibility too.
