About ghost platforms

OK... I think I see what you're talking about. The timing for the thicker platform is such that it will initially come on in time to catch Jack if he jumps between rooms, regardless of whether it's reset or not. I just did a very simple mansion test to check.

For some reason, I thought you said this case was a problem and latched onto that, but perhaps I misunderstood since you were calling both types of platform

ghost platforms

- one thick and one thin. I was only associating

ghost platform

with the one that fades in and out - the one that Vern calls

light saber platform

.

Um... so if the

thick ghost platform

works for jumping between screens (it does), then nothing needs to be changed, I guess.  That's what you're saying if I understand you right.

The way it works right now (Beta6), Jack could jump from anything: a moving platform, a non-moving brick, the retractable platform (aka

thin ghost platform

), and still land reliably on the thick ghost platform in the next room. If it is changed back, the only way Jack could reliably land on a thick ghost platform in the next room over would be if it was on in the room he jumped from, which is how it used to be.

I *think* I finally understand... and I think I feel a headache coming on.
