Interpolate and collide?

fzeed

I have an actor that collides just fine. But if i put a rule in that does:
if width=48
interpolate to 32

if width=32
interpolate to 48

to make it appear like its breathing, suddenly it doesn't detect and collision???? Is that normal? I have 2 other actors. One the alpha interpolates and the other has the rotation interpolates, and the collisions work just fine for them.

yeah the collosion wont be detected while there interpolating there size

You could constrain the X and Y of an invisible actor to that one, and have the collision in there.

Man, that really sucks!!! Thanks for your advice.

or you could use magnitude to fake a collision.

if magnitude is less than the actor's size
collide

that's what I'm doing in my new game. keeps the physics count down as well, which means better performance.
