weird collision issue (VIDEO)

3xL

heres the video. the items collide just fine (collision shape both rectangle and circle) but after a while they start FLOATING. as if colliding with invisible objects. very strange, take a look:

3xL

its pretty ridiculous actually. and if i destroy all the items, the new items still collide float around too.

3xL

any ideas?

i guess i can wait for the new engine to come out

Im pretty sure that's a human error rather then a bug
It seems that you have more actors in the scene (invisibles) that has a collision rules with the visible actors
Check your collision rules again.

The second possibility is gravitation or acceleration or the combination of both, also check those rules too.

I say that's probably a human error cause I have LOTS of collisions in my project and I don't see the anomalies you show.

Another thing worth mentioning is, how big is the collision area as oppose to the graphics associated with the actor?!

Nope. It's not a human error. As far as I can tell anyways. I have zero invisibles. I'm going to lower the amount of actors being spawned to see if it helps

Any resolutions to this?

i emailed gs but never got a respond. guess ill email them again.

Mind sending over the project to my mail? I can take a look at it and maybe find the problem.

Hey man ,
Found your problem.. see this screenshot:


See those black squares ? those are your actors called "poofFranken" they have a rule to collide with the "pumpkins" actors , delete that rule and your problem should be solved.
Also , another suggestion , iv'e noticed that you spawn the particles effect , and thats fine if you choose to do it that way , but make sure all those spawned actors will have a rule to destroy them self after about 3 seconds .
________
when "Self.Time" is Greater than 3
destroy
_______________
This way you dont build up too much RAM of unused actors .

Cheers.
Roy.

P.S
Dont want to say "i told you so" but.... i told you so ... its a human error >-

3xL

this was a teammates error. thanks for finding it. i assumed he listened to my instructions so therefore i "knew" it wasnt' a human error.

nice trick using the "opaque" on the actors.. i should of thought of that. u learn something new everyday
thanks for noticing the particle not destroying either. i gotta tell you this is why i prefer to work alone sometimes

funny thing is, this app isn't even a major app (i do those ) but this ghost bouncing thing was kinda ironic (halloween and all that) and pretty mind boggling lol thanks again dude.
