how to make my player collides with another actor below

agueis

I want to make a 3D floor where my player collides but being in 3d would have to step on in the middle of the floor colliding there any way without introducing an invisible actor, thanks.

It may be that today is just too close to Monday for me but can you draw a picture of what you mean?

you put this action to the actor. ccreate rule, inside rule drag collide, then collide with actor of type ...

Hello tatiang this is the Photo

I want my actor walk in the middle

tatiang

Ah, okay. So you have two choices: (1) a bunch of short invisible actors positioned to create a curve or (2) a trig function that approximates the curve and spawns invisible actors every few pixels to create the collision surface.

This actor is a high that moves up and down so I can not put an invisible actor because it would be desynchronized , you see that my carpet is like a flag but the actor is going to move straight on

tatiang

Is the actor going to move straight across (e.g. 200x, 400y to 500x, 400y)? Or is it going to follow the curve?

agueis

The actor is going to move across, and the carpet move up and down

Okay, I think I understand finally. It sounds like you'll need to do some complex math and I unfortunately am not the person to help you with that.

I don't think the math is that complex, just spawn a bunch of dots along a wobbly line then get 'em swerving about !

(notice I used lots of technical / mathematical terms there)

Hold on . . . let me knock up a quick demo . . . .

Here you go, is this the kind of thing ?

Try to imagine an elevator moving from the first to second floor and the second floor to the first, and a man walking on the elevator, so is the movement.

I think the technical term for this kind of thing is 'up & down'.

I recently posted an elevator tutorial at the website linked in my signature, maybe that will help.

Well I´m spanish i don´t talk English very well, thanks all, thanks Jamie for the tutrorial

@jamie_c that's the first tutorial of yours I've watched and I have to say I'm quite pleased with the quality. Good pacing, clear voice, solid explanation. Excellent work! I'll definitely be directing my students to your videos.

@tatiang, thanks for the kind words.

Hi Jamie I followed your tutorial, but I have not gotten the actor is in the middle of the elevator, when I divided elvador height and the height of the lead actor from 2 everything worked well, but I tried to enter different numbers divisible heights by 2 and not going well, I think when an actor collides with another in GameSalad not collide in the middle
