I need help with collisions.

gamestudent

All my actors fall down the screen, and when the collide with each other they supposed to stop. What I need is to have my actors collide with each other on the top and bottom but still move freely when rubbing against the sides. thanks for your help guys.

I'm not sure what "rubbing against the sides" mean. Maybe you can explain that more?

But to have objects collide with one another you have to have a collide behavior in the actor, telling it to collide with the floor. Then in the floor uncheck "moveable".

Thanks for the response, Sorry what I mean is that I have 8 vertical rows that are equal lengths, and the actors are spawned fall down at different times. I want them to land on top of each other and stop moving. but when they touch on the sides they stop too. I want them to only collideand stop moving if it's top touching bottom. make sense?

So you're spawning vertical actors?

gamestudent

They're 40X20 but the fall from top to bottom.

allc1865

Okay.
So what you want is for the actors that you spawn, is to land on top of each other and then stop moving?

gamestudent

yes.

allc1865

Okay...I will work on a template tomorrow.
As for right now, I would spawn your platforms but turn the friction up on them. They should come to a slow stop.
But like I said I'll put together a template.

gamestudent

All right! thanks a bunch!
