    Nice! I think I would like to see the ball as it's making its way through the pipe. Maybe, when the ball overlaps with the pipe, change its alpha to 0.5? What do other people think?

    or semi-transparent pipes??? although normally the balls don't travel thru the pipes.. just position change when collide... still like Jack's idea of watching the ball's progress!

    thats exactly what i was thinking, the pipes gonna be transparent with just a outline probably so you cna see it go threw :)

    Thanks guys!

    thanks, thats what im gonna do. Becuase the object doesnt change positioon to get threw the pipe it has a complex set of rules where collisions only happens if it hits any side but the side the object should pass trhrew. and when it goes there it follows the center to the end and drops out.
    thanks again!

    Looking good! What happens if you drop the ball on the outer edge of the pipes? will it just bounce off? I'd like to see the ball drop faster too. But hey, who am I? Keep up the good work.

    Yep if it hits anywhere on the pipe besides the opening it bounces off :)

    Very cool, I have no idea how you did that but that sounds like some interesting rules and behaviors going on there.

    yeah theres alot going on. Some constrains, angle attributes, and alot of otherwise rules. I wasnt even sure if it would work at first, but its turning out better then expected

    Ok, so perfect game for this it would be awesome. so the ball make it become like a gerbil thingy. and you place the plastic stuff that they have in the cage to get him to the cheese. or whatever gerbils eat
  • AjBlueAjBlue Member Posts: 215
    maybe you could even work it a control scheme for the gerbil, so you control how it moves through the pipes and can even make it jump.. eh

    Alot of rules, angles, some constraints, pipe guide paths and otherwises :)

    Also forgot to mention that all the pipes are draggable anr movable. And the object collides with the pipes if it doesnt go threw the hole :)

    Ye, im finishing putting notes and explanations next to all the rules and behaviors now :)
  • JohnPapiomitisJohnPapiomitis Member Posts: 6,256


    Update on the template. Now has buttons and clear pipes for you. Im almost finished working on another level for it where the pipes are stationary and you control the left and right and have to guide it threw the right pipes to complete level. Also finished a trap door type of dropping for the object, and a menu system to build your own level and spawn your own pipes (wont actually be spawning)

    If anyone else has any suggestions please let me know!

    Also adding a bunch of opsticles and differnt drop methods and such.
