Todo

Prevent entities from clipping into walls when being pushed into them.

Prevent colliding moving platforms from sticking together (or just never place them in each other's path).

Public Attributes
float	moveSpeed = 2.5f
	The speed at which the platform will move at.
float	pauseDuration = 1f
	The amount of time the platform will stop between each point (in seconds).

Protected Attributes
MovableEntityDetector	entityDetector
	Detects the entities that are standing on the platform (controlled by a different script).
Transform	path
	The object with children as the points that the platform will move between.

Private Member Functions
void	Awake ()
	Set reference to the moving platform's rigidbody and initial target point.
void	Update ()

Private Attributes
Rigidbody2D	rb
	Reference to the platform's rigidbody component.
float	pauseCounter = 0f
	Keeps track of how long the platform has been stopped before going to a new point (in seconds).
Transform	targetPoint
	The point that the platform should be moving towards.
int	targetPointIndex = 0
	Keeps track of which point the platform should be moving towards.
Vector2	previousPosition
	Needed for calculating how far the platform has moved each frame when updating the position of entities standing atop.
