Help - Actors sliding along walls & Actors behind each other Issues

singhmrp

Hi all,

I'm new to GameSalad however am experiencing 2 issues, I've spent the last few days trying to resolve however had no luck - hope someone here can help.

Issue 1 - I have 4 walls along the edge of the screen. There are 3 actors which randomly move around the screen and collide/bounce off the walls. The issue I'm experiencing is once the actors touch the wall, they somehow 'attach' to it and continue to slide along there. What I want is for them to simply bounce off and continue.

Issue 2 - The actors mentioned above should be destroyed on being pressed. However if there are 2 actors behind each other, on tapping one, the one behind also gets destroyed. How do i avoid this?

Look forward to your replies.

Thanks.

Use Change Velocity or Change Attribute self.motion.linear velocity.x/y to [random values] instead of Move or Move To.

In the wall actor's attributes, change the Physics-->Restitution value to something high enough to create a bounce (1 or more).

issue#2 … have the actors collide with each other … so they are never in an overlapping state???

Hey - great that was it. Note I also had to change X.Velocity and Y.Velocity to minus values when it collided with the wall to prevent it sliding.

Any ideas on issue number 2?

Hi,

Yes that to prevent overlapping does solve the issue however I would like the actors to go behind each other.

Thanks - I see it now.
