How can I make an actor shake/wobble?

swalker

It needs to remain in place, but when tapped or dragged (on screen touch) it should wobble around, left to right, at the point it is fixed at.

I think someone other asked that one or two weeks ago. But don't know who. As far as i know @tshirtbooth made a little tutorial/template for free but you should ask him

Thanks, but this is more about shaking the entire scene. Is it possible to apply shake movements to individual actors, so if I touch an Actor it will shake?

@swalker Sorry! I should have read more carefully. I saw "shake" and remembered that video. I would think you could shake an actor by interpolating its x and y positions very slightly for a very short amount of time. I think someone (maybe @tshirtbooth) did make a demo or video about that.

If you're needing it to wobble when dragged, I think you'll have to constrain a second actor on top of it because otherwise the wobble movement will interfere with the dragging.

Another way would be to animate the shaking/wobbling.

I don't remember who made this demo, but I replaced all of the y attributes with x attributes. It's a nice example of a shaking actor.

I do it by importing to different images, e.g. a happy face and the same face rotated slightly, then i use the animate behaviour.

when face is touched, animate (alternate animation images between the two).

works for me.
