The vast majority(right?) of you guys are following my sorta-resource called "Platforms Players Can Ride"
But it's evolved a bit past being able to ride around on pathshapes.

EXIBIT Z
Recently i added in the ability to attach pretty much any gamebase object to the player, and any gamebase object to any other gamebase object. Basically you can attach objects to the player and attach things to other objects.
EXIBIT A
This works different from "mounting" because it's not doing that. It simply "parents in place". So where ever the object is when you attach it is where it will stay, until you move the parent object, in that case the attached object follows suit.
My previous experiment i did was attaching objects in relation to a node. Again, not mounting, just whenever a node moved, the object followed. Could be used for arrows being lodged in a players body after being shot from archers, or simply picking things up in their hands.
EXHIBIT B
But my goal towards the begining of this project was to introduce a type of gameplay never seen. OMG What am i talking about?
Well i am talking about animated Environments players can walk on or in!

here's a youtube video showing it off
The motion of it is extreme just for demonstration purposes. But the uses of this could be simple moving bridges, or any type of platforming puzzle, to walking around on giant monsters! provided you setup the collision meshes in a certain way.
