Gravity

Hi
What number do you guys put in Acceleration to fake Gravity?

DrGlickert

That's kind of a broad question. Are you wanting to simulate gravity on an individual actor? "Gravity" is such a generic term. It depends on what you're trying to accomplish (is it a space game? are you in water? are you on earth?)

Can you be a bit more specific?

ShineyGames

Sorry
It in an actor
and for earth
Im thinking 450? but not sure

JohnPapiomitis

just play around with it tills it how u want

Sometimes when playing with gravity or other features I do this:

Create a game.attribute that's a real number.

Create an actor that when pressed change attribute game.attribute to game.attribute+ 25 (or 50, or 100 or whatever). Also, have a display text on this that displays game.attribute.

Have your main actor have Accelerate at 270 degrees at game.attribute speed.

Preview/play your game and tap the button to increase the "gravity" and see which one you like the best. You can get a feel for which gravity you like the best through gameplay.
