Ball speed control?

mmmodel

Hello guys, here i'm again with another doubt.
How i can control my ball speed on pong game because the ball was so much speed and sometimes he disappears.
I tried to put on the ball actor the ball direction rule with the change velocity but in the speed i tried the random(min,max) but did not worked the ball still increase the speed and disappears.
Anyone understand what is happening?
Thanks.

And sometimes the ball still in the same angle and this f***** the game too.
because the speed increase more and more and bug the game

No one? (

Curious. Are you using change velocity with the direction set up as 'random' and then a value for speed - something like 300? This should work. You can also go into the actor attribute and under 'motion' set up a max speed(key in the max speed, 300 or something and then tick the max speed box)-but I don't think you should need to do this if change velocity is set up as above.

Yeah, it really depends on how you've set up your behaviors for the motion. I have a pong game where I use the balls velocity, so you can keep it set to a certain speed if you want like:

on the ball:

change attribute linear velocity.Y to 300 (or whatever) whenever it bounces off a surface.

I did the ball direction with change velocity = direction random(-45,45) speed 300 and one otherwise random(135,225) with speed 300 but the ball still increase the speed and sometimes disappears i tried the change attribute too but did not work, i think the error is in the physics of the ball, maybe i did the density and bounciness with the wrong value, what you guys think about? :-/

Under motion of the ball i tried to set the max speed to 300 and seems better, but not perfect uaehuaehuae

mmmodel

but the angle of the ball sometimes still in the center forever and ever and this is another bad bug but i did not understand because the ball has the random for the angle, what i can do? =/

mmmodel

i fixed the problem about the ball in the center forever and ever xD

mmmodel

yeahh, i fixed everything thanks for the support guys, but in the motion i did the max speed 500 and apply the max speed and the density to 0,1 and bounciness to 1,1 and worked xD

glad to hear you got it working! good job!
