How do I make the ball bounce?

I need to make the ball fall and roll like a real ball after you hit the play button in that sceen how do I do that? Anything helps (really) ;-)

Maybe Gamesalad or game development in general isn't for you? A little effort here and there goes a long way (e.g. Google, YouTube, GS Forums, etc), especially for things as basic as your query.

Anyway this should start you off. But really you should use the Accelerate behaviour.

Hi Justin, check out the sample file attached. Press the Play button and the ball will drop and bounce/roll on the floors. There are a couple notes in the behaviors to let you know what is going on.

Thanks Jamie and thegabfather you just saved me a lot of time but don't worry I'll make sure to get familier with stuff like this

How do I add that file into my game or as in my actor?

@Justin007h
Open it up first on its own in Gamesalad Creator, take a look at all the Actors and check out their Rules.

Once you've understood them all, simply replicate them from scratch onto your own game's Actors.

There shouldn't be that much Rules implemented by Jaime to get you too confused,
and you'll learn faster/better that way

Good luck!
