Random x movement without complicated rules, etc.

This little guy is moving without any user input.

Enjoy :)

    Just wondering, could some Y movement be added into this as well?

    Yes, very ez. One line. I kept Y axis out to simplify the demo.

    Love it got ideas already coming

    Sweet. I would want the Y random moving like the X, i take that it would be the same but replacing the X's with Y's?

    this is a great example!

    I'm trying to use it in my game, every 3 seconds to spawn an actor at self.position.x and self.position.y but it's not working....

    it's not spawning anything.

    any idea why ?

    thank you

    I did manage to make it spawn actors but it doesn't read the random position.x of the cube's movement.... this is strange!

    Im not at computer to see file but I did the same thing with 1 actor and 2 timers
    1 says every 3 seconds change velocity speed 60 to 0 degrees and the other timer every 4 seconds do the same thing at 180 degrees. Looks random and sometimes goes more left and others goes more right
  • FanStudioUKFanStudioUK Member Posts: 459
    why it doesn't constrain the position.x to the movement?
  • FanStudioUKFanStudioUK Member Posts: 459
    did anyone tried this?

    @andreib

    Make a sample project illustrating your problem so I can see what you're talking about. I don't understand the problem you are having.
  • FanStudioUKFanStudioUK Member Posts: 459
    I opened your template and inside the Spaz I put the follwing action:

    Timer: every 2.5 seconds to spawn a parachute (having the Spaz's self.position.x) that is moving down slowly...

    The Spaz is spawning the parachutes but only in the middle of the screen and I don't understand why is not spawning them at the random position.x of the Spaz.

    Any idea why ?
  • FanStudioUKFanStudioUK Member Posts: 459
    Ohh, I got it! FINALY!

    In the parachute actor I was using Interpolate with self.position.x also that was why it was spawning it from the same spot :D

    Sorry for the trouble Orbz, your templates are so inspiring!!!
  • ORBZORBZ Member Posts: 1,304
    I think i understand what you are doing.

    Try this:

    In your parachute actor, remove all behaviors and rules. Then just set the motion.linearVelocity.y = -30

    The in the spaz actor just spawn the parachute at location 0,0 relative to actor.

    That should do what you want without needing to interpolate the parachute down the screen.

    The problem was that the parachute has a pendulum movement

    Constrain: Self.Position.X to 20*cos( self.Time *100%360)+240

    That's why it's not working as I want...
  • ORBZORBZ Member Posts: 1,304
    Ahh, gotchya. Well in that case keep the constraint on the x movement but also set the motion.linearvelocity.y to -30. That way you don't have to interpolate y.

    Of course, if you WANT to interpolate y, you can. It doesn't hurt.
  • FanStudioUKFanStudioUK Member Posts: 459
    I don't think I get it...but I can only spawn the parachutes at the Spaz random position only if I remove the pendulum movement...
  • FanStudioUKFanStudioUK Member Posts: 459
    I forgot to mention, for the Spaz I'm only using the motion.linearVelocity.X - I'm interested only in the X random position

    If you want you can send me your project and I'll take a look at it.
