Tell if actor is moving.

Braydon_SFX

Hey guys,

I would like to know if there is a way to know, in-game, if an actor is moving. Is this possible?
I have searched the forums and I couldn't find anything.

Thanks for your time,
Bray

yep just check the linear velocity

if linear velocity x is 0 your players not moving at all on the x, if its greater then 0 hes moving right, if its a negative and less then 0 hes moving left

if linear velocity y is 0 your players not moving on the y at all, if its greater then 0 hes moving up and if its a negative and less then 0 hes moving down

hope that helps

Hey thanks John!

Okay, it's not working.

What I want is when a ball isn't moving anymore, then i want it to be unmovable.

So here is what I have:

Rule: When attribute self. linear velocity x is 0 and when linear velocity y is 0:

Change attribute self.Physics.movable TO false.

But they still move when another ball hits it.
Any idea why?

JohnPapiomitis

its not working because you cant change the moveable attribute in game

constrain the linear motion x and y to 0 if you want it to become not moveable

or record the position you want it to stay at and constrain the self position x and y to those cordinates

Alright, ill try that. Thank you.

Braydon_SFX

Nope, that doesn't work. They look like they are being hit when they are not.

What I am after is you shoot a ball, where ever, and when it stops moving, I want it to be grounded, so it doesn't move anymore.

Braydon_SFX

Or I might be constraining it wrong.

Bumping.
