I'm building a Flappy Bird clone and I want it to fall (not fall to the ground but tilt and fall like Flappy Bird) does anyone know how to do that?

My Skype: swagapple

I've already made the game I just want it to tilt when not being touched.

Most likely, you'd use rotate and accelerate.

Guys this go's to all of you, stop making Flappy bird clones! Their are already tons of different flappy bird clones. Your chance of getting your flappy bird clone successful is 1 in 10,000. Its very hard getting your flappy bird clone into the top charts because there are so many different clones already. (From my experience). Luckily enough my clone made it in the top charts. But without good advertising you have 0.01% of getting it in the top charts.

I'm sorry, can you not read? I asked for help not advice. I couldn't care less what you have to say, you're being a hypocrite by telling other people not to make Flappy Bird Clones since you've already made one yourself. Smh.

Anyone help with this?

Still looking for help with this guys!

I would look at the 'when touch is pressed' and change it to 'when touch is inside or down' then do whatever you want to do. It will take lots of playing around to get the correct feel you are looking for.

Im guessing you want something like IronPants. As Tait mentioned, look at velocity as this will control how fast/far your actor goes. Plenty of guides on gshelper.com and deepblueapps on you tube.

The way the movement is set up in that tutorial I think it would be easiest to use a simple Change Image Behavior when the bird is falling and change the image to a rotated version of the bird.

I used the $10 template on Gamesalad Marketplace.

Oh sorry, I thought you followed my tutorial (it's free)

Consider contacting the developer for your template, maybe they could offer some more specific advice.

I actually made an app using your tutorial but it was denied by Apple so I bought the template. Do you think you'd still be able to help? My Skype is: swagapple

I'm sorry I don't use Skype, if you can post images of your rules you are having issues with here in the forums it's makes it easier for people to offer help.

I'm curious why the app was rejected, was it caught up in the mass rejection of anything flappy bird related?

I think so yes.

Here are some images of the actor rules:

@MinecraftGeek, I don't see much in those rules to offer help. But I do have two suggestions:

1. Add a rule to the bird that says:

When motion.LinearVelocity.Y < 0

 Change image to a bird rotated down

Otherwise

 Change image to normal bird

2. Add a different rule that says:

When motion.LinearVelocity.Y < 0

 Rotate bird to your desired angle

Otherwise

 Rotate bird back to normal

The Rotate might mess up your movement, depends on how the bird is actually set up to work that is why I suggest adding the other image in option 1.

Other than that I suggest contacting the developer and asking for their assistance.
