Interpolate non-moveable actors, HOW?

BrynjeBamsen

due to gravity i have to make my actor non-moveable.
in this case i would like to have my actor move back and forth like a trap door closing and opening over and over?

Ive been told this is possible with interpolate? but how

tenrdrmer

place the interpolate behaviors in place of move behaviors.

Hhmmm i must most be doing something wrong.

there no touch involved! i just want them automatically to go up and down over and over....

Hi ... I think you need some rules to start the motion and then to change the direction. I copied this tip from Darren a while ago which I think shows how to do what you want. (Note it has X in there for left and right movement, change to Y for up and down):

"The best way to do it if you want more control over the platform and to place it easy in the scene imo is to do...
Make a real self.attribute call it startX
change attribute self.startX to self.position.X (this stores the X position of the platform in the scene so you can now place it anywhere).
make a rule if self.position.x = self.startX
Interpolate self.position.X to self.startX+100
otherwise (still using one rule)
if self.position.x = self.startX+100
Interpolate self.position.X to self.startX
You can now place this actor anywhere and have multiple copies and also change the travel distance for each platform."
