Actor moving back and forth

mkfoster

I'm trying to have an actor move back and forth (left, right) automatically acting as a "barrier" I'd like to have it only move a short distance then once destination is reached move back to it's original position. Any Ideas? Thanks.

From Tshirt booth:

OK guys there is a very simple way to do this.

Find the X location of BOTH spots you want it to pace back and forth from
so say its X120 and x250

Do this place it on the x120 spot
and then do this

change velocity 0 speed 100

Rule
If attribute self.position.x is greater then 250
change velocity 270 speed -100

Rule
If attribute self.position.x is less then 100
change velocity 0 speed 100

This way you do not need any bumpers

hope that helps.

cheers

It's tshirtbooth you should be thanking... but no problem I'm starting to keep the URL links of all the problems and solutions in a document, so when I'm stuck I can just have a quick gander. Once it's large enough I'll pos it with them all.
