Event Trigger in Corona? Camera moving with player?

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion

HI Guys!

I have a question which is does Corona have something like event triggers?

I am now designing my gameplay in which the player will enter a platform and then the platform will start moving up like an elevator with the camera following the player?

I am using “Tiled” to create my map.

Is it possible to do this in Corona? If yes, how should I start implementing it?\

Thanks!

Yep, Corona does use an event model. The docs can be found at the link below:

But how to implement into the game with “Tiled”

Am I suppose to implement the moving up of the platform in “Tiled”  or in the code itself?

You you checked out MTE (million tile engine) or Dusk?

They handle loading of tiled maps, and give you options to move tiles and handle camera’s etc.

Ya. I am currently using Dusk engine load my map but I am creating the platforms in “Tiled” but does it allows the player to move up with the platform?
