Actor stopping

TJMNUT

I have an actor accelerating down, and I want it so when it is tapped, it stops, changes the image, then fades away. How can I stop it, and make it fade

TJMNUT

anybody?

First of all, you don't need to bump your thread 15 min after posting.

Now for your answer-

Rule when touch is pressed-
>>>Change velocity to 0 (speed)
>>>change image to ???
>>>Timer- after ??? Seconds (run to completion)-
>>>>>interpolate self.alpha to 0

TJMNUT

I cant find the alpha part

JohnPapiomitis

alpha i sa self color attribute. so in the attribute browser youll see the name of your actor, click that to go to its attributes then click color and alphas in there

TJMNUT

ok, Thanks! but now, the actor I want to stop and fade away, has many of the same actor spawning down, so now when i touch one actor, it just freezes the other actors that are coming down. How do i fix this?

azavega

Create an attribute for the actor. Ex. ( selected). And then when you touch it selected = true
And in other rule. If self.selected it's true then
Make all the other steps to disappear the actor... Guess that work. If I'm wrong please somebody correct me

JohnPapiomitis

dont use the change velocity behaviro with a 0 speed

change attributes self motion linear x and self motion linear y to 0

those are self attributes so they wont effect other instances

TJMNUT

thanks guys!

Now when it stops, the image slides down

TJMNUT

By that, I mean when the image changes, it slides down like liquid on glass as it fades, but I have it if the actor touches something, it destroys it, so even when the actor (Example: Ant) is "smushed" the image it changes to destroys the actor even though it's a technically dead actor, how do I solve this

TJMNUT

I hate to annoy you all, but could you please help me figure this out? it seems like it takes the acceleration attribute on the actor a while to slow down, how do I get it to stop immediately?

try adding drag to it under its physics attributes
