kirkland

hi

has anyone got any ideas

I believe you will want to create a obstacle actor with moveable OFF in physics

Add a rule to interpolate its Y position to the lower and upper points you want in a loop. Ie; put when self.positionY=250 then interpolate self.positionY to 100. Then if self.positionY=100 then interpolate self.positionY to 250 and set the interval to control how fast.

The other actor can be set to collide with this obstacle. Control how much bounce by using a restition value between 0 (no bounce and 1 which is high bounce.

has anyone got any ideas but a detailed answer

Photics

Maybe this will work...

• two interpolates on the up/down obstacle.
• When it reaches the top, interpolate the Y position to move downwards
• When it reaches the bottom, interpolate the Y position to move upwards.
• Rules can be used to trigger the two interpolates
• Actor is set to not movable
• Set the restitution to 2, that will make it bouncy
• A collide behavior, will make the main actor bounce off.
