My actor won't touch the Ground!!

I have an actor who won't touch any platforms. It just hangs in space. I know I don't have to turn on gravity because in another game, Gravity is off but the player still hits the platform. What do I do?

    well if you want your actor to interact with the ground or any other actor there must be some sort of movement.

    the first thing you have to do is use a move or accelerate rule so your actor falls down (I think that is what you are trying to do). After that remember to put inside your actor to overlap or collide with your ground actor. That will make your actor bounce off depending on the restitution. Make sure your actor has an overlap or collide rule with every platform you want to interact.

    hope that helped

    cheers

    Most people are no longer using gravity in their games. but in the game you reference there is prob an accelerate down behavior in each actor that needs gravity. This provides a more realistic way to show gravity.

    Actually, there is no "Accelerate Down" behavior in my actors, but they still fall down. Maybe I should just resort to using gravity?
