How to pull a crate / box ?

Hi all,

I'm basically trying to pull a crate in the platformer protoype I'm making.

I managed to push the crate from left and right using the platformer behaviour, but can't manage to get the crate follow the character when pulling. Actually I did manage to pull it but then the crate at some point overlapped with the player, which got stuck inside. That's why I should probably not use the platformer behaviour, but I'm not sure how to actually do it differently.

To detect when the avatar should be pulling / pushing the crate, I have put a rectangle that is perpendicular to the avatar. When it overlaps with the crate, and the player presses B on the gamepad, it will pull or push the crate depending on the direction of the stick.

Any help would be gretaly appreciated!

Cheers,

you can use the PIN behavior (only position) .... for example when (your trigger)... pin crate to player..... when (your end trigger) crate>>unpin

This need more work but, shows one option. Other thing would be that when pushing or pulling you would control the crate and move player relative to it.

Of course a lot of it depends from your control setup.

Thanks a lot both of you!

I used Katala example to move the crate, that works like a charm. Greatly appreciated the time you put in creating that file!
