Why is a hand truck called a dolly?
Thus a wooden device used in the 18th century to agitate clothes in a washtub was called a “dolly” because the user gripped it by two “arms” and twisted it, making the gizmo’s two “legs” churn the water in the tub.

Why do you need a moving platform in Unity?
Moving platforms are a staple in any platformer. Platforms create a target for players to aim for when traversing the level. Landing on a platform is a test of the player’s hand eye coordination as well as their skill at controlling the player. Platforms that are moving provide an even greater challenge.
How to make the player move with the platform?
By far the easiest way to make the player move with the platform is to make the player a child of the platform. This works because child objects will inherit their positioning from the parent.
Build a graph based a star implementation, where the nodes store an “offset” from initial position, and nodes can be updated at runtime to have a new offset. Then use offset within the calculation of position + pathing. 2. use aron granbergs a* project, which includes moving in the pro version.
When to use rigidbodies or fixedupdate in Unity?

Later on, when we use rigidbodies to move our platform we will use FixedUpdate. Check out our article on Update vs FixedUpdate in Unity to learn the difference between the two.
