Platforms Slidable on Top

[maxman]

I'm attempting in making a platform that entities shouldn't stand on top of it by making them slide down. I use platform for it and I'm trying to avoid having entities stand on it. Also, I plan to use platforms as collisions if I want to jump on characters but slide down from standing on top. If I want to jump on top of the platform, how can I make the entity slide off from it with its jump animation? (e.g. Disney's Magical Quest where Mickey Mouse slides off something round after he jumps on it.)

You could run an update that monitors the platform and pushes anything standing on it ~3px per tick. That would give a nifty slide effect, but it would also allow them to counter it if they walked/ran fast enough. Alternatively, if you want the player to have 0 control over sliding off, you could put them in an animation and keep them stuck in it until they finish the slide.
