    Thanks.

    You can't do this without having more than one actor. but what about a circular collision?

    I Know you can do it, Actual collisions are made with math stuff, I use to code weird collision shapes in the past.

    Cheers.

    Really? With gamesalad?

    If any one else wants to chime in with an answer it would be greatly appreciated!

    It would be tough but I imagine you could use magnitude to determine how close the the center a colliding object is and then based on some x and y positions you could simulate some sort of bounce but honestly I think you will be killing your game performance. If you have used math to make collision shapes before in GS then your prob gonna be better at it then most of us.

    I dont think your gonna have much good luck doing it with GS.

    Could you give some more information about how you made the top and bottom not collide please? I'm very interested in this.

    You Must Have To "Record" some Y Attirbute.
    Then on the character you are nor recording Y, you create a rule like this:

    iF Recored Y greater than Self position Y - (Self Size Height / 2)- Half height of The character you are recording Y - Some Number of Pixels you don't want to collide, like 10 pixels
    AND
    iF Recored Y less than Self position Y + (Self Size Height / 2)+ Half height of The character you are recording Y + Some Number of Pixels you don't want to collide, like 10 pixels

    Its that easy :D

    Cheers.
