How do I make working platforms?

Above.

I’ve created the platforms and use the platform behaviour, but they don’t show up as platforms when I run the game.

this is a weird one, ¿what do you mean with “showing up as platforms”?

Could you better describe the issue? There’s scant information and no detail on what you are doing , what happens or what you expect.

And yes, what do you mean with “they don’t show up as platforms”? Platform behaviour is not a visual thing.

Remember that platforms only interact with platform characters.

sorry if too obvious a question, but did you place instances of the platforms into the scene?

Yes, I created actual platforms, but they do not show up in the game.

I don’t currently have any pics on file to show what I mean.

Have you tried to change the Z order ? it could be hidden behind the background

How do I do that? I’m a total noob in game design.

When you click a sprite in the game square it should show sprite properties then you change the z order the properties option needs to burned on at the top control panel.

Here’s a screen shot

Is the camera in the right place to display them?

I don’t know.

Like I said, I’m a noob.

It seems you’re trying to do things that are beyond your current knowledge.

There are plenty of tutorials explaining how to setup a simple platformer model.

I recommend to follow one of these tutorials to learn the basics, because without this basic knowledge you’re going to be asking once and again questions that are already well addressed there.

If you continue having issues after following the tutorials, then request further help here in the forum.

are they, by any chance, in the wrong layer? I’ve had that happen way to many times
