Provided you have a tile with the IsPlayer property on the Platforms layer, the following should work. Good luck!

[code]

local function loop (event)
if player and gameIsActive then
tileLayer = map:getTileLayer(“Platforms”)
tile1=tileLayer:getTilesWithProperty(“IsPlayer”)[1]
tile1:move(-SOMENUMBER,0)
map:setPosition(player.x, player.y)
end

end
Runtime:addEventListener(“enterFrame”, loop)

Sorry for sounding dumb, but could you explain what this is for/what it does? :slight_smile: [import]uid: 61052 topic_id: 10816 reply_id: 62751[/import]

This moved the player constantly in an update loop, however since then there have been some helper methods added like a move() function. [import]uid: 5833 topic_id: 10816 reply_id: 64268[/import]
