Movable Object

austinlee

Is it possible to have an object that I can move when an attribute is set off but does not move until then? I'm using gravity and it just falls off state unless I uncheck movable.

You ought to be able to set actor.Physics.Movable = true, but that appears not to work.

unfortunately, you can't change the Movable attribute at runtime...

you can add an accelerate behavior to the actor in the opposite direction of gravity to counteract it. Make the acceleration direction 90 degrees, and the speed equal to the gravity amount.

that will hold it in place.

Thanks!

It is for this exact reason that I almost never have scene gravity. It is much easier to keep the scene gravity at zero and add an accel in the 270 direction in individual falling actors than it is to to use scene gravity and keep other moving actors from falling. Putting acceleration in the opposite direction should work - but they always seem to move just a little. So I would recommend keeping scene gravity at 0.
