Constant Movement, Even With Collision

App Surge

Hey there GS guys,
I'm nearing completion of my oh-so-long project! However I spotted a major glitch. I have a fan that moves back and forth across the screen at a constant speed and rotation. However, when it collides with the ball, the speed will change, it may not stay on the same y-coordinate, and the rotation will slow down and occasionally stop. I am using change velocity for the movement and the rotation behavior for the rotation.

Thanks,
Henry

The answer is almost always... interpolate

Just a little bump...

You should probably use interpolate instead of velocity. If you interpolate between two positions, you can uncheck "movable" and your fan won't be moved, slowed, or changed by contact with the ball.

You want to change the friction of both actors to 0.

@LiquidGameworks
I've thought about that, but with moveable unchecked it does not rotate.

@shark1505
I would've done that but I need the friction for other events that happen.

@ redsky

You can still rotate it with interpolate

App Surge

@JohnPapiomitis,
I know that but when I uncheck moveable the rotate behavior does not work.

App Surge

Ah, I just got it. I'm using interpolate for the rotation instead of the rotate behavior.

Thanks so much you guys!

True... True...
