moving actors

djdee

hi,
i have an actor that moves up, down, left and right which is controlled buy a joystick in the game. When the actor moves its usually lands up in a real number postion (eg:- postion X =217.8 postion y= 280.36 ). i want the actors to land only on a whole number (eg:- postion X =218 postion y= 280).

Hi, the only solution to this problem, I'm thinking, is on touch release, adjust the x and y coordinates of the actor accordingly. So one way to do this is to make two integer attributes, PosX and PosY

Then in your Rules of your joystick:

When Touch is released
Change attribute PosX to scene.Background.Moving Actor.Position.X
Change attribute PosY to scene.Background.Moving Actor.Position.Y

---- as they are integer attributes, they'll automatically round down to the nearest whole number. You could also use the floor expression instead)

Change attribute scene.Background.Moving Actor.Position.X to PosX
Change attribute scene.Background.Moving Actor.Position.Y PosY

Hope that sorts it.
