Constraining area

rollo

Hi there,
I have a problem. In my game i have a certain amount of soldiers that can spawn into a battlefield. each one spawns an actor that is constrained to it. I am trying to get it so when the enemy collides with the actor constrained to the soldier. the soldier moves towards that enemy. Any Ideas? Thanks.

You have to make sure that the constrained actor and the constraining actor share an attribute value (e.g. self.ID set to an integer), as in my demo here: http://forums.gamesalad.com/discussion/comment/384027/#Comment_384027. That way, you can broadcast (via a game attribute) the self.ID of the enemy and the enemy can have a rule that checks to see if its self.ID matches game.ID... and if so, broadcast its position x/y to game attributes that the soldier moves towards.
