Hi :),

Here's a bug I found while using the "Is by wall" condition. For some reason, the block ends getting stuck, when collisions are detected, in a random way.

According to the actions, the block should reverse its direction when a "wall" collision is detected. This does happen for a while, until it gets stuck.

I hope this is useful.

Good luck!

I don't think this counts as a bug, since it's by design that the Platform behavior stops you (sets vector X to 0) when it detects it has run in to a wall. Because you multiply vector X by -1, when it gets stopped and set to 0 it never gets going again.

Just use two events:

Has wall to left - set vector X to 256

Has wall to right - set vector X to -256

This seems to work fine. Closing as won't fix.

Oh, ok.

Didn't know that it was designed that way.

Thank you for your time :).
