How could i make a type of earthquake ? like when the earthquake happens everything shakes, and if actors arn't in a good position (like piled to high) they could fall ?
i don't know if this is possible ?
thanks

    of course its possible..

    Have a attribute called earthquake set to false. Change it to true whenever you want, then in the objects when earthquake is true acclerate down, or interpolate the ground and background back and forth or whatever you want to

    tshirt has a video as well

    But is that only making it look like an earthquake ? i want all the objects to be affected ?

    An earthquake effect isn't achievable in GS, unfortunately the ability to affect the Eath's tectonic plates is not currently supported; although I hear that it is coming to Pro members soon...

    I had a game I was working on that had a huge circular invisible actor that I interpolated across the bottom of the scene very quickly. It was set to just barely reach above the ground level so it just barely bumps the bottom most actors. Took a lot of trial and error to get the positioning just right but it worked pretty well in the end.

    Hey...



    I made Quake Builder...it was my first game (not actually finished much since, but have started an awful lot of projects).

    Sounds like your trying to make a similar type of game...if I had the patience I'd remake Quake Builder from the ground up. It's been a good seller though as is...it hit 75,000 in one day when I made it free. It now has ads on...

    Let me know if you want any help... (I did make a web version that was downloadable as a way of giving something back to the forum...should still be on here somewhere).
