What am I doing wrong?

BackUpAndDown

I want a block that falls when the player walks under it.

I constrained the players X and Y cords to global attributes and used this rule on the block.

"if game.PlayerX = self.Position.X then Move direction 270 speed 300"

What am I doing wrong?

You could check out utopian games platformer demo he uses magnitude to create the effect.

Hi BackUpAndDown; I think the problem is trying to capture the PlayerX x coordinate to match to that of the block. So I was thinking that all you would need is an invisible "hotspot" actor, placed appropriately under the block, with a Rule (after making a boolean attribute called BlockTrigger):
When actor overlaps or collides with actor of type PlayerX
Change Attribute BlockTrigger to true

and in your block Rules

When BlockTrigger is true
Move direction 270 speed 300

Hopefully that should work :-)

I don't have the money to afford it. Maybe once I finish this app.

Gyroscope solved that problem

I was thinking about doing something like that but then I wouldn't be able to just drag and drop the block into the scene and I would need to create a bunch on scene attributes. If I can't figure out another way I may do that... thanks for the suggestion.
