How do I make the actor (car) stop (brake)?

zSuperChargedz

I did the same thing pretty much for accelerating and the brakes work, but I'm not sure which behavior I should use. I tried the Move behavior and set it to -90 in Direction and all that did was make the movement of the car go backwards. Is there a behavior where all it does is stop the actor? And also when I did the brake button in Preview it wouldn't work when I tried to accelerate it again, it just kept going backwards..

interpolate self.motion.liner.x to0(or y)

JohnPapiomitis

Youll want to interpolate both the x and y to 0, or itll just stop on one axis and not the other.

Yes.

Just so you know, it would have been quicker just to press play and test it out first

Are you on a computer or iPad @tynan?

@JohnPapiomitis I did try pressing play at first and it didn't work which is why I was making sure I did it correctly. So if it's not working what could possibly be wrong with it?

JohnPapiomitis

If you want you can send me the project and ill take a look.

It's hard to say without taking a look, it's definitely one or the other, what do you think ?

Also, I'm having another issue with the steering, check it out when you do play.

zSuperChargedz

thanks a lot dude, it's working great!

zSuperChargedz

also, do you know how to make the screen follow the car?

JohnPapiomitis

put the control camera behavior in the car

I recommend you watch all the tutorials on the gamesalad cookbook youtube channel, on gshelper.com, and at the cookbook link at the top of this page.

zSuperChargedz

I did put the control panel in the car before I even asked, the only reason why I asked is because it didn't do anything. I dragged in the Control Camera behavior but nothing happened, it stayed the same. I asked you because it wasn't working and maybe I didn't do it right. But I guess I did but for some reason adding the control behavior didn't do anything..

JohnPapiomitis

Did you make your scene bigger ?

zSuperChargedz

No, well that could be the problem. When I add an image to the game it goes over everything, how do I put the image under the car, joystick, etc?

JohnPapiomitis

You drag it to the bottom of the layer. Please watch the tutorials at the links i gave above. All this is basic stuff.

zSuperChargedz

okay, thanks

JohnPapiomitis

I checked the project you messaged me.

You car was on the non scrollable layer, thats why it wasnt controlling the camera correctly.

zSuperChargedz

thanks for looking at the project, I fixed the problem and its working now
