Hey everybody. Should be a simple answer here, but for some reason I'm struggling.

I have an accelerometer minigame that opens a door in my game. I want to have my "ball is rolling" sound play while actor is in motion.

when attribute-?- is greater than ? - play sound.

Anyone?

Thanks everybody!

Eric

    take the self.position.x out and instead constrain self.motion.linear x. You might want to change the *17 to something higher like *400 or something like that.

    See how that movement is, cause then the sound rules will work.

    make a rule with 2 condtions. Change it to when any condition is valid, instead of all.

    When self motion linear x does not equal 0
    When self motion linear y does not equal 0
    -play sound

    @JohnPapiomitis. Hey John. Just tried it. no sound. arghh... SO here's what I have
    Rule
    When any conditions are valid
    attribute:self motion linear velocity Y does not equal 0 and another condition, attribute:self motion linear velocity x does not equal 0
    -playsound.

    hmm...

    Thanks

    Not sure why its not working for you, it works fine for me. Check loop and uncheck run to completion if you didnt already.

    Heres a demo: http://www.mediafire.com/?0dw8nlidl867wvn

    Thanks for you help @JohnPapiomitis. I have loop checked and run to completion unchecked.
    I really appreciate you taking time to help. Are there any other factors that could be preventing it from playing? I have other sounds in the scene that play fine when the actor overlaps them.

    I've also tried changing the sound effect as well. nothing.

    what are the rules your using to move the ball?
  • artfishartfish Member, PRO Posts: 369
    That's kind of what I'm wondering.

    Constrain self.positionx to self.Position.X -( game.Accelerometer.Y *17)

    Thanks.

    maybe my actor is not really "moving" just giving the appearance of moving.
  • JohnPapiomitisJohnPapiomitis Member Posts: 6,256
    Yeah thats why. Its cause you constraining its position, so its linear motion is always 0.

    It there a viable alternative using the rules I have or should I switch the controls to an accelerate behavior. I was just having a problem calibrating using accelerate so I switched to this rule which is very smooth...

    Thanks Master @JohnPapiomitis

    I'll try that. Thanks
