How to constrain an actor ontop of another actor & make it follow it

http_gamesalad

i followed this video of an endless runner , my game is set up just like Jamie Cross's video

Now what I'm trying achieve is I want an actor to spawn on top of each platform one at a time , is this possible? Thanks

Armelline

Any reason you can't spawn the actor and apply the same movement behaviours to it as the one you want it to follow?

@Armelline I tried that, it doesnt spawn right on top of the platform also it doesn't spawn one at a time

Having the platform spawn additional actors on top of it and moving them at the same speed (like a coin or something) should work fine as @Armelline mentions. What about that is not working for you exactly?

@jamie_c I'm trying to spawn a 60 by 60 px actor on top of the platforms (constrain it 200 px up everytime) that I made 120 px. The 60 by 60 actors aren't spawning properly at all. Hope you understand . Thank you

bump?

What do you mean with "aren't spawning properly at all"? Can you post a screenshot of how they are spawning? And maybe a shot of the spawning rules.

(This is set up in my star actor the 60 by 60)

(This is set up in controller actor)

Does the platform have the same movement rules?

http_gamesalad

@NipaDidIt yes it does

Ok. I don´t really understand the "not spawning properly" part. What´s the problem? Can you maybe get a screenshot when you preview the game, and point out what´s not right?

In the black line actor place a rule that spawns the star actor.

Like @Socks said. I'd put the spawn behavior In the platform actor.
