Constrained actor jitters something aweful

chaley

I have an actor that is constrained to another during a "power-up" and it jitters around the "x"axis like crazy. Does anyone know how to calm down a jittery constraint?

jitters around the "x"axis like crazy ?
Sound like there is a conflict with another rule , besides the constrain , does this actor has more movement rules? move? accelerate? interpolate?

Roy.

The "constrained" actor doesn't have any movement. The actor that is constrained "to" has a decent amount of movements. Other actors in the scene are also constrained to the same "hero" character, and seem to be working fine. It's weird.

Here, try this. Make sure the "constraining actor" is behind (below) all the constrained actors in the layer.

I just realized that I have the wrong spelling for "awful." Please pretend the question is spelled correctly.

I put the constrained actor in the same layer as the "constrained to" actor & now it's fine. It used to be in it's own layer. THANKS LIQUID!!!!!

No prob. Just a little GS quirk I recently discovered (and that support said they hadn't seen before). Just make sure the constraining actor is below the constrained ones.

Yea, man... that's the key. When the actors are below the "constrained to" actor, they behave erratically... when they're above... all is nice and calm. Thanks again... this is a HUGE sigh of relief.
