Can someone help with a couple of problems?

VGX

1. How do you make a ball keep bouncing left and right without using collide to make it bounce?

2. When my iDevice warns of low battery or I get a text msg, the music in my game stops working. Everything else works fine apart from the music. How do I fix this?

Thanks

why dont u use a timer for the bouncing?

rule if actor receives touch is pressed

for 1 second (or whatever) move up

after 1 second

for 1 second move down

VGX

collide is crap for rounded actors it will at some point bounce off the screen.

I am trying to update my game and i don't want to use collide. I have seen games made in gamesalad that have actors, balls, platforms, whatever... keep moving from left to right nice and smooth and what to know how that it done so I can remove collide and put the correct attribute.

Does anyone know?
Thanks

All I need it the correct rule/attribute to fix this please

SlickZero

Do a search in the GameSalad splash screen for a template that has a bouncing ball.

VGX

that doesn't help me. What I want is the ball to KEEP bouncing left and right WITHOUT using collide. because collide rule just makes the ball eventually bounce off the screen. I can't find any info on this anywhere.

can someone please tell me how to do this?

1. Try playing around with a change attribute on the linear motion of the object. For example if it collides with a horizontal wall have it:

Change attribute
self.motion.linear velocity.y to -self.motion.linear velocity.y

and do the same for the x when it hits a vertical wall.

2. The problem is a bug that changes the music volume to 0. find a rule that happens often in your game (ie. actor being touched or a score) and set a change attribute for the music volume back to 1.

What is the purpose of the bouncing ball? If it is going to be affected by a variable (your touch), then collide is probably best. But, if you want it to move like a platform in an aethetic manner, then you can try interpolating the x coordinate. You'll have to play with the timing, but it should be nice and smooth.
