repeat rolling movement

Dooki

OK, I'm sure I'm missing it in the forum. I did a search and can't find this.

Q: how to do create a repeating roll? (or movement for that matter)

I have a barrel rolling down a hill and I want that actor to repeat the roll. I've been playing with Spawn and Timer but am getting no where. I've looked at the space shooter template but I can't see how the enemy ships repeat their movements.

Thanks,
Dooki

You need a actor to spaw your barrels, create a barrel counter atribute in game level. and destroy unused barrels to preserve memory.
Hope helps you, Marcos Riffel.

Hey Riffel,

You're English is fine. I need a little more detail though.

So for Barrel:
- Create a "Barrel counter" attribute in game level. INTEGER? REAL?
- Destroy unused barrels. You mean create a collision actor and set it to destroy barrels?

Much thanks!

Anyone have advice for my continuous movement set up? I keep looking at the space shooter demo and I can't figure out how those enemy ships keep repeating?
