How do I move a cube by rolling it?

Use tile movement with a sprite, with animations the same duration as the movement to animate the flipping.

Otherwise, you're going to use mesh deformations or Mikal's 3d object plugin since you can only rotate around the z axis by default.

thanks got it. I'll try

Here is a possible way using a distort mesh to make the cube and some math to rotate around a center on an axis.

Crazy cube!

Ah, so you mean just rolling a sprite then?

Even found an old example that does it in a different way.

yes exactly

Thanks again

hi R0J0hound I am using box walk file and here is an issue. my game is grid base and images should travel in grid position for example when grids size is 60 pixel and box size is 60 pixel then at 90 degree rotation it should travel exact 60 pixels but currently its travelling more than that.

I have no idea what I should do here

thanks in advance

That was a bit older example, and I was going for a certain look but as you pointed out it doesn't move accurately. I'd probably need to figure out the formulas again to account for that. Probably simpler to use the other capx though.

Like in that video the box is rotated around a corner and every time the box lands on an edge (every 90 degrees) it changes which corner to rotate around.

I used another capx too but that has the same issue

So here is a slightly different example.

* The rotation is driven by pressing a key.

* It now lets you use any value for the rotation speed.

* I moved the variables into the sprite so we can have multiple rolling squares.

* Lastly, it rounds the angle and position to the nearest integer when a 90 degree rotation is done. Do to rounding errors the position and angle wouldn't be slightly off a perfect value.

in this file box is travelling more than previous version.

what if I move and rotate in same time and same speed?

Try it I suppose. Actually I just read your issue again. You’re using a 60pixel square and in the capx I use a 64pixel one. You just need to find the 32s in the events are replace them with 30s to fix it.

It’s just half the width

oh Yes I had just changed box width and not in the event. I noticed that now and now its working fine.

Thanks
