how to grow in width only?

ragg

it is possible to make an actor grow only in width and reduce to its original width when touching something?then grow again when reaching its original width?

Yes, you simply do a change attribute, with the actor's size.width being changed.

thanks...how bout changing it bec to its normal size when touch other actor?i cant create the loop for it to increase and decrease..

ragg

any idea guys?

You're going to have to store or set the initial size in an Actor Attribute. From there, you can create Rules on getting back to size when needed.

i made a rule:

when collide with wall:
timer :every 0.01s
change attr: self.size.width to max(self.size.width-1,20)

otherwise
timer :every 0.01s
change attr: self.size.width to self.size.width+1

but when collide with the wall...it couldnt reduce its width...i think because of the not colliding with wall rule keep it increasing size while colliding with wall keep it decreasing size,causing neither increment not decrement at the end....

how to solve this problem?thanks

thanks for the reply tshirtbooth..i can make it change it width to original after colliding the wall..but cannot make it change gradually...

ragg

still the same...not reducing its width after collide..

ragg

thanks for the demo tshirtbooth...i think u misunderstood me...i wana make a actor constantly increase its width itself until it collide with the wall...then it gradually reduce width to original size...and start the loop over again.....thanks alot for the demo anyway!

thanks alot tshirtbooth!never thought of having the self grow boolean!thanks!much appreciated!!
