    Not sure what you mean--you can use accelerate to simulate gravity. A perfect triangle can't be made in GS--but you could get very close with 3 rectangular actors.

    Behaviors used for ball: Accelerate 270, 200 and Collide with ramp
    Behaviors used for ramp: check unmovable in actor settings.

    i want this triangle to be movable with the ramp affect really accuralty any ideas

    Sure. Make the ramp movable, and move around as necessary.

    Are you talking about rotation? There are lots of great threads (search the forums) about having actors rotate around a certain point--you could just have the three actor walls rotate around in the center.

    what i am wanting is basicaaly a trangle which can rotate and you can drag and also act like a ramp

    click device then youll see mouse position. I think you should watch the vidoes on the gamesalad cookbook.
  • kirklandkirkland Removed Posts: 268

  • kirklandkirkland Removed Posts: 268
