2D Platformer - Platform Jumping

Hey,

I'm making a 2D platform/running game.
My question is what's the best way to make the character behave like I want to?
The character is supposed to be able to jump from beneath the platform on the platform so it goes trough the platform. But when the character is jumping down and falls on top of the platform it stil needs to be able to walk it.
I have tried to do this with the OnTriggerExtit method, but this worked only for 50%.
Can anyone help me out please?

There's actually an integrated feature for this called Platform Effector 2D - http://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/class-PlatformEffector2D.html.

This should do exactly what you're trying to do. There's a video tutorial that discusses it as well here - https://unity3d.com/learn/tutorials/modules/beginner/5-tutorials/surface-and-platform-effector-2d

I had the same issue and it was hard to find a solution by searching because lots of people were solving this manually before the Platform Effector 2D was added to Unity. But this pretty much just gives you a one way platform just like you're looking for with default settings.

 

Thank you this is exactly what i was looking for!

 

Wow, wish I had known this a month ago.

 

Gotta keep up with those release notes. It came out when Unity 5.0 was released, well over a month ago.
