Elastic with rotation

troyfran

Hi, very new to Gamesalad...I have spent days trying to find a tutorial but so far nothing. I'm trying to make a pole attached to the ground and have another actor by touch grab the top of the pole and pull it over without releasing the base of the pole from the ground, a bending motion if you understand my poor explanation, thanks for any help...

p.s. I even bought the gamesalad official book (which is absolutely NO HELP)

Not sure about that. You could have the pole "tilt" to the ground fairly easily I think, but the bending part would be tricky.
Probably have to do an animation-I don't think you can manipulate 1 actor that way. But, I'm new too, interested to see what others come up with.
Good luck!

Yeah, you're not going to get and actor to actually bend. I've seen a few tutorials posted around the forum for joints, you might consider doing a search for that. It might give you enough of the effect you are looking for.

so could how could I make the pole tilt with touch like elastic, almost like angry bird without the stretch bands though?

How to tilt a poll by touch (pulling from another actor), anyone?
