Another noob question

Hapy00

So I am doing this game that involves block stacking ala Bejeweled. I have block actors spawning from the top of the screen and falling down in columns (Move Attribute, Direction 270, Speed 300; collide with other blocks). However, even with Density, Friction and Bounciness all set to 0, my blocks knock each other around slightly. Whats worse is once a stack of blocks starts getting up to 5 or 6 blocks, the whole column of blocks will "compress" occasionally (the higher it gets the worse this happens).

I have no idea why any of this is happening, nor how to fix it.

I'd appreciate any help or suggestions.

Here is a short video of the problem in action:

It's because even though the block has been placed its still trying to go down try making it so when the block hits another block the acceleration drops to 0

I hope this helped

Thanks for the reply, TShirt! Yah, I saw your video a little while ago and have been trying to reverse engineer it here and there.

It's unfortunate that this is just a GS bug. I will keep on trucking and try to find some work arounds then, I guess. Hopefully you can get that Template up soon!

Thanks for the reply, Epic. I guess I will try moving into a new direction with how actors move then.

So, does anyone have a suggestion on any videos/tutorials on interpolate instead of move (other than TShirtBooth's video above)? This seems like my best bet.
