Hello,

I just stuck creating box or pyramid colliding inside. In short, pyramid rotating and inside a ball. Making three actors as walls of pyramid but cannot group of them as one actor. Any ideas and possibilites? Want to rotate pyramid when touch.

    Without joints it tough to do but there are some really good math people on here they may be able to figure out the math to do it.

    @Tynan. It was very good of you to go to the bother of providing an example for him. The least he could have done was say thanks!

    I had a look at your file and it is very well done. I used something like this last year in one of my apps- your example is clear and easy to understand and would probably be of use to others.

    "The least he could have done was say thanks!"

    Yep! You seem to get a lot of that on this forum ! 8-X

    The other day (I will see if I can find the thread for you . . . ) some guy asked an accelerometer question P-O-M responded with a very helpful post, he made an example project, uploaded it, and explained how best to use it - and this guy didn't even bother shooting a quick 'thanks' .

    I actually got a bit pissed off for P-O-M and posted a comment saying how I thought this guy was pretty ungrateful . . . but I later deleted the post (and just stuck in a "thank you" from me instead) as I thought my post might have been a little too inflammatory!!

    Anyhow, helping people out helps me learn my way around Gamesalad - I can now make rotating bouncy triangles !! I didn't know that the day before yesterday !!

    ;)

    Here you go (thread below): the guy was not rude or anything, I just get the impression that some people (certainly not all, not even a majority) feel that this forum is somewhere you go to get free advice, free graphics, free logos and have your technical issues resolved for free, no one is asking for payment, but people like Tshirtbooth at least deserve a 'thanks' every now and then !

    "I was traveling in Cambodia (no internet) just 3 days there is [many] discussions about me."

    Just 9 words ("The least he could have done was say thanks!"). Anyhow it's too late now the lynch mob has been initiated, there is no calling them back b-(
