Area with no Gravity

Hi,

Am new to GameSalad, just about mastered the basics however cannot seem to solve this challenge:

1) To have an area of a scene (a large square Actor) where gravity does not apply (scene is set to have gravity of 500).
2) So when my Player moves over this Actor, it floats and only moves when Player movement is applied with the controls.

Am I missing something obvious?

Any help/ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks
Mark

    you would need to set up a Rule in your player like this:

    Rule
    When Actor collides or overlaps with Actor of Type GravivyFreeZone
    Accelerate (Direction:90, speed: 500)

    hope this helps!

    Also, you can set the density of your actor to 0 and it will float.

    @ORBZ: actually, setting the Density to 0 has the same effect as setting its Movable property to FALSE - both of which cannot be changed at runtime...

    Oh really, density can't be changed at runtime? Hmm... I could have sworn I did this once. Perhaps it was late and I'm confusing it with something else I changed at runtime :) My mistake.

    Anyhow, not quite the same as setting movable to false as watch what happens when a projectile hits an object with a density of 0 ;) Whoooosh!!!! Boooiiing!
