Thats not what im looking for, what im looking for is there is a red line crossing the screen, when i drag the actor across the line, the actor wont go, the actor will go pass that line only when you throw it

sky_ssr

Thanks for helping but I don't understand abt self.hitredline, (I can't find hit) how to get it do I create a new attribute, if yes what kind

you need to make it and make it a boolean

sky_ssr

i dont understand how to do "then on the rule that makes it drag say it can only drag if self.hitredline to false"

Thanks

Watch the welcome to gamesalad video, the working with attributes one, making actors and other beginer ones.

You need to get an understanding of how the software works

sky_ssr

i watched almost all of those videos, i just dont understand how to say it can only drag if self.hitredline to false"

sky_ssr

Please tell me the steps

Eminem

can he not use an integer for this?

make an integer attribute once released change integer to 1

then it wont be able to be touched released

if i understand your question correctly

sky_ssr

No I wAnt to make actor draggable and throwable in a area but when it pass the red line, the actor cantbe touched

Eminem

ok when actor collides with red line change attribute to 1

and for the draggable code put it in an integer of 0

That's what he did in the demo!

sky_ssr

No, it needs to throw the actor and keep the motion going but in the demo the motion stops

JohnPapiomitis

you need to take the first demo i posted, and add the rules for when you cross the red line that eminem put in his demo

sky_ssr

i already got the throwing thing working but i want the actor to be untouchable after the actor passed the red line

Thanks

On the part of your code that actually throws the actor you need a rule that will detect if the actor has collided with the red line.

So make a rule that says
If actor x > than line x
Set Boolean value to 1
Otherwise
Set Boolean value to 0

Then in your throwing code add a rule that checks on that value.
Or better yet just add a rule that checks if the actor x is lower than the line x

This is all assuming your throwing from left to right and the line splits the screen in the middle.

Hope that helps
