Detect when all actors have stopped moving

How do I determine when all actors in a scene have stopped moving?

Made you a demo

touch the actors to toggle them between moving and not moving

Alright, try this version: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19602014/AllActorsStopped v0.2.zip

In each actor, you'll need to check to see if self.motion.linear velocity.x=0 AND self.motion.linear velocity.y=0. How you actually count them all (a game-level integer or boolean attribute), I'm not sure about. I would try it with a boolean and see how it works.

OK, I'm trying to work this out. I have set up a game level integer attribute. I have 3 actors and I'm trying to get this attribute to be 0 if all actors have stopped.

So if self.motion.linear.x or self.motion.linear.y are > 0 add 1 otherwise subtract 1.

I can't get this to do exactly what I'm attempting. The attribute ends up 0 if all actors are moving and -3 if all 3 have stopped. Any ideas?

Thank you very much, it's getting very close. It works great if all my actors are moving at the start of the scene.

But sometimes my actors start stationary and then move. In this case, my moving actors game attribute goes to negative number while they are stopped.

That did it, thank you,
