    Would be best to record a video of what you mean. Make sure each objects COLLISION is set properly.

    Yes, sometimes jumps, sometimes does not. I also have noticed this in my games. Still haven't figured a way around, it's due to the moving platform, creating conflicting physics for Buildbox to calculate. However, this is happening for some characters only. I had a game with 4 characters with different abilities, and one of the character is doing this (cannot jump every time), but the others were OK. Exact same setup for all 4, but one could not jump properly when a platform is moving. Heck, it's probably a BB bug and I am talking about BB3, not BB2.

    My suggestion: email support@buildbox.com and ask them if there's a way around. If character cannot jump when button is pressed or whatever, it creates bad experience for the player.

    Another way is try to change the shape of your character to something more simple, because the collision shapes of your character might be complex. Like replace this human-looking thing :D with square or a cube and see if it's going to jump.

    If that's not a BB bug, it's a collusion shape problem (most-likely).
