Increasing Falling Speed??

sak0213

In my game, I have a function that involves Clicking an object, raising it into the air, and then dropping it. So far, when the object is falling, i have it set to change linear speed to -50 (or some other random speed), which falls at a constant rate. I wish to go about making the object accelerate its speed based on how high i drop it, so it will hit the ground at a different speeds depending on how high its been dropped.
My intention is to have an action occur when if the object hits the ground at a high enough speed.
Any ideas?

When not just use Accelerate when you drop it? That will continue to speed up the decent the longer it falls.

Use the accelerate feature, and turn on the 'Fixed Rotation' thing so that it doesn't drop the wrong way.

What he said. And then say
When self.motion.linear.y > (what ever speed you want) do what ever action you want

I have an object with a Boolean attribute titled "falling". When the object isn't touching my 'ground' object, "falling" is true, which starts my linearspeed -50 action. This is how i established when to fall and when not to. I put it together on my own, so it may be more complicated than needed (relatively new to game salad). My system seems to not work well when i add an accelerate rule. Any ideas on how to clean this function up?

Also, thanks for the suggestions!

You might need to just delete your previous set of rules and make a completely new set. It's happened to me more than once.
