Constrain Attributes

DimensionGames

Hey all! I have a actor (hammer) which is constrained to another actors position (Character) which in turn is interpolating to somewhere else on the screen. I have a timer every 0.01 change the attribute to the x and y of the character. Then the hammer is constrained to the two attributes so it is where the character is.

My problem is it is very juddery. Am i going about this the wrong way?

Cheers

Get rid of the timer and it should be fine because once it's constrained it will always stay in position.

You can also constrain to different places around the character by changing the constrain self.position.X to characterX+40 for eg (this will contrain him 40 pixels to the right of you character).

Yer I had been playing with that I got rid of the timers and it didn't stay constrained

This is what I have:

Hammer:

Change Attribute self.Position.X to game.Player X +100
Change Attribute self.Position.X to game.Player Y +150

Character:

Interpolate attribute self.Position.X to 9728
Duration 50
Function Linear

Change Attribute game.PlayerX to self.Position.X
Change Attribute game.PlayerY to self.Position.Y

Control Camera

Not sure without seeing the project but...

Looks like you need to do this in the hammer instead of change attribute do..

Constrain Attribute self.Position.X to game.Player X +100
Constrain Attribute self.Position.Y to game.Player Y +150

woops i meant to right constrain attribute :L I would ask if you could look at the project but im guessing you will be working on either your awesome platformer or RW.

Just trying thanks a lot Iv been ill today so my only two priorities were sleep and GS lol

DimensionGames

You recommended move to so should I just put the position to the place I want it to go because it didn't work when I did that Did you use move to for RW with the main actor?

Cheers
