Is there a way to make actors attracted to each other (as in gravitationally)?

    Both, ideally.

    Is this possible?

    I think it might be possible but I think it'd get complicated quickly and be extremely inefficient. There's no "gravitational attraction" button if that's what you're looking for.

    Attracting to a single actor wouldn't be too hard and is something I've been thinking of doing (ala that Mario game where he jumps between planets) but I haven't gotten around to it. But a bunch of actors attracting to each other... I dunno.

    How would you go about attracting to a single object?

    So would this work for a homing misile in the side scrolling shooter? I have an actor called
    misile1 and enemies called enemy1 2 3 etc

    So enemy misiles can home in to the player but not the other way around. I will try that...

    quick note to those trying to use this method with moving objects, havent yet gotten the sufficient force needed to allow the object to follow another object for example a planet attracting astroids when the planet is in orbit, now this will work when focused on a non moving area such as the sun
