Question

I've been trying to get my character to move along with my moving platform (like when i jump unto the platform it carries me long with it), but so far have been unable to do so.
I have a character with CharacterController, it has also been tagged by 'Player'.
My moving platform has a 'Rigidbody' attached to it, a 'Configurable Joint'and a 'Box Collider'. The platform is tagged with 'JumpPad5'.
This is the script attached to my moving platform:

var targetA : GameObject;
var targetB : GameObject;

var speed : float = 0.1;

function FixedUpdate ()
{
var weight = Mathf.Cos(Time.time * speed * 2 * Mathf.PI) * 0.5 + 0.5; transform.position = targetA.transform.position * weight + targetB.transform.position * (1-weight);
}

So if anyone can help me, pleaso do.

I already checked those answers and I couldn't get it working with my character. That's why I asked the question myself, providing my own information, hoping that would help.

Not sure which option would be best, but I'd try to implement those other solutions first and ask questions in those answers via comments. What exactly didn't work when you tried those solutions? There are multiple answers provided, so it's not very likely that somebody is going to take the time and come up with something totally new here. Was the joint a problem? Try to break your platform/project down so you can get it to work with one of the provided solutions and so that you understand how they got it working, then expand to suit your needs. But that's just a thought.

When I use 'Answer1' I get an error saying: Assets/CharStickPlatform.js(26,44): BCE0020: An instance of type 'FPSWalker' is required to access non static member 'speed'. How do I solve this?

Do you use the Character Controller with the FPSWalker script? The script for Answer1 requires you to use the FPSWalker script, because it refers to its variable speed.

No I probably didn't cause I don't know how to do this. (But I'm not trying to make a FPS, I'm trying to make a 3rd person game.)

Can't you make the player a child to the platform with On trigger stay/exit events? That way the player will move, rotate, etc with the platforms movements AND speed, while still having their own controls.

 function OnTriggerStay(other:Collider){

           if(other.gameObject.tag == "platform"){
           transform.parent = other.transform;

       }
    }

function OnTriggerExit(other:Collider){
    if(other.gameObject.tag == "platform"){
         transform.parent = null;

       }
    }
