15696 - For the top-left moving platform that appears out of thin air in this room… I'd make it a black bat platform. Somehow this conveys to me that it might move between rooms. Other brick-looking platforms don't convey this to me for some reason.
The problem is, there's real advantages of using any other type of platform rather than the bat platforms - especially the black bat platform, and it's limited functionality is easily mimicked by other platform types. The only thing the other types don't have is its look.
A problem I had using platforms is that they basically have the same options in the editor, but many of the options aren't honored by all moving platforms. Issues like this made the editor an unfriendly tool for me initially. It was about as frustrating for me as the trollish door puzzle was for others.
. Anyway.. this isn't really the right thread to go off on editor / moving platform issues.
