I'm SO tired...but one question before I sleep. slow arching movement please...

StormyStudio

Ok, I must be knackered I'd just written out a big question, basically asking where is the 'Collide behaviour' but in a much more confused way....need a tattoo with 'TWAT' on my head. As I've been using 'Collide; in my game for the last 3 months.

......

anyway....one last question before I sleep...

I have an actor which is spawned and flys from screen left, and is affected by gravity.

I am currently using velocity to make it fly across the screen arching down due to gravity and landing on the floor in the middle of the scene .

I still want it to arch down, and reach the middle of the screen, and still be affected by gravity. But come in at a slower speed, if I drop velocity it obviosuly does not reach as far across the screen.

I want it to be slow enough so it can be pressed and destroyed, but if you miss it goes across the screen....

Hmm....maybe I will try acclerate now I've worked out my 'collide' issue...(maybe accelerate speed 60 on the x unless it hits something, then make velocity 0 so that gravity can kick in....

anyway...sleep first...

any advise, or a yes accelerate will do that will be grand....

Have you tried angleing the item slightly upward so that it takes longer for gravity to affect it

Instead of using scene gravity put an acceleration in the falling actor with the angle at 270. Then if you want put his "fake gravity" in a timer (set to after). Use this with a second acceleration set to 0 degrees and set the max speed. That way the actor will accelerate across the scene unaffected by gravity for a little while (depending on how long you set the after timer) and will then begin to fall.

Hey Draper,

Scitunes is correct. I had a similar issue and tried to do through gravity. Accelerate actors are 270 seemed to work better, and have more control over the effect as well.

cool, will give that a try on my lunch hour...

I tried it... hmm...without 'MOVEABLE' on the actor does not even appear on the screen, I assume it is not moving. With moveable on, it arrives on screen, but hmm....need to add an accelrator going up to counter the gravity....

I have stopped using scene gravity alltogether. It is way easier to make individual actors fall in a scene with no gravity than it is stop moveable actors from falling in a scene with gravity. Just
my 2 cents.
