Actor Detection Issue

kajuto

Hi there! i made a actor recently that move forward and backward and that actor also display the distance when Hero actor is close, but i used Magnitude like in the tutorial of T-shirtbooth but it move Y axis also, i just one to move X axis. For example the actor that move side by side when he detect the hero actor just follow him in the floor, not also in the air like flying of some sort..help with that...thanks in advance

You need to constrain the y axis to where you want it. Use constrain attribute self.position y to position you want.

but either i don't want the the actor that move side by side i have to constraint the Y axis?

i just want him move side by side in the x axis where the hero will walk

It sounds like your actor needs to not follow the hero in the y axis.

Im not sure thats what your shooting for but if it is you need to remove what ever is tracking the heros y position from the rules.

kajuto

Exactly tenrdrmer.! I don't want the actor follow the hero y axis just only the x axis :-) how should I do that ?

Set the "follow" actor's y to whatever you want (e.g. where your ground is). Then constrain the "follow" actor's x to the hero's x. If that doesn't make sense, please post your rules and we can see what you're trying to do.

It was what you said. I thought kajuto might need to hear it again. :P Actually, now that I re-read it, I think you said to constrain the y value and I said to constrain the x value.
