Is there a way to make an actor move one space at a time when pushed? , the game im making involves the player pushing around crates to pass through the maze, i want it so that when a crate is pushed, to move one space.

I've created a demo for you here:

Actor Pushing an Object (Demo)

It sounds like you are trying to make a Sokoban-type game. This will be hard. I only used one object and I had the main actor examine the x- and y-coordinates of the object being moved so it is simple enough.

I can't get my mind around how this will work with multiple crates. This will involve physics, I'm sure.

Anybody else have any ideas?

You need to divide the screen up into a grid. Then snap the pushable objects to the intersecting points on the grid. I think FMG made an example of this on his profile. You should look there for an example on how to get started with the snap-to-grid feature. After that just use a little physics to "get the ball moving"

Good idea, ORBZ!

Hi rickyniko, just poking my head round the doorframe:

Firemaplegames is excellent as always; I tried to do a similar thing a week or so ago; nowhere near!
