…I’m not sure what’s wrong with my game, but whenever I start my game my character just falls through the platform. No Compiler errors are appearing, and there’s nothing in the outbox. I’m pretty sure it has something to do with my character not knowing that it must land on the platforms, but how would I write that?

Thank you for listening, and help and advice is greatly appreciated!😁
