How do I use these

I was wondering how do I use these things in gamesalad and how do they affect the game or project that you do.

1)Density

2)Real Attribute

3)Angle Attribute

4)Index Attribute

5)Drag and Angular Drag

I'm sorry, it's just I don't know how to use them. :3

    Density really only comes into play in collisions. If two objects collide the one with the larger density will "win" the collision and push the other one back.

    Real attribute can be set to any value (including a decimal) positive or negative (or zero).

    Angle is just for values of 0 to 360

    Index - I forget!

    Drag is like air resistance. When you are done accelerating it makes you slow down. the higher the drag the more you will slow down after accelerating. Angular drag works the same way but affects how long it takes to stop spinning.

    Index is any positive whole number or zero. Why would you use that instead of integer (whole numbers positive and negative or zero)? I haven't the foggiest.

    A suggestion: experiment as much as you can; that way you can get to grips with how actors perform, tweaking this and that and seeing the results.

    PS I thought I was adding to my previous post and now I see it's another one; I'm really not awake today...

    Wouldn't indexing work well if you were to reduce a score based on negative actions, so the score wouldn't go below zero?

    Sounds right to me; good thinking!
