Summary0005321: "Transparent" platforms
DescriptionWell, usually I doesn't use platforms, as I have all this nice double-jumps and jet boosts. But as I started new game in 0.550, I was forced to use it. So I discovered that this midsize platform are tricky ones!

When you are stands on platform, it supports you up to the last pixel, as any good old platformer does: if you have even tiny part of foot on the platform, you _are_ on the platform.

But when you are _jumping_, everything is different! It's no longer supports you at the edges, up to... well, I dunno, but up to "beams" under platform definitely. It works even when you are trying to simply jump up (you will go thru platform on landing if you are stayed on the edge before). But it's much worse if you are trying to jump on it from side. I don't know what reason of it, but I am keep missing, even if there _must_ be "solid" platform! It seems, some hitboxes are too tight - either platform itself, or legs of my female explorer.

Are you placing the platform in mid-air, or next to somewhere else? There's a bug where a platform that isn't fully extended (which happens when it's placed against a wall or similar) doesn't support you jumping off of it, but I haven't seen that happen to free-floating platforms myself.

Or could you post a screenshot of this?

Oh, it's easy. :) Take it! :)

Jump1.png - here are me, standing on last pixels. If I will try to jump up, I will fall. And it would be not possible to jump back (jumping straight up). The same for opposite edge. Minor annoyance, but it's for falling _from_ platform, when you are looking off it. Let's test opposite case: when I am jumping _on_ platform, standing face to it.

Jump2.png - there is I am standing just under platform. I _must_ climb on it when I jumping straight up!

Jump3.png - but oops! It's impossible!

It's most simple examples, of course. In real game I am jumping from the distance usually. And missing right thru platform just... very unpleasant, especially taken in account _why_ I am using it (high altitude, magma or acid most common).

Do you remember how you placed this platform? Did you use the mouse? Or did you hit the ability key on your keyboard?

Err... I think, it's any given middle-sized platform (I still haven't any other so I cannot test it too). At least, any platform that I received from chest in tutorial dungeon. I suppose, there is nothing special in it? :) I experienced this bug through all tutorial, and this particular platform was spawned with standard right-click of mouse just for screenshots. :)

Hmmm, ok. I've not seen this, there is a known bug that is similar to this, but not the same. I'm not sure if they are related or not.

This one is only now fixed for real:

* Fixed a very longstanding issue with wooden platforms where if you walked to the edge and it supported you, and then you jumped, you would fall through.
