  Zephlon, try increasing the buttons 'linear damping' quite a lot. All this does is slow the objects velocity over the time.

  You could try changing it from 'continuous' to 'one-shot' in the particle properties.

  And have it create a new particles object every 0.05 seconds or something. Or every x seconds, where x can be proportional to the objects speed.

  another thing that you may find useful is clamp() expression where you can set minimum and maximum limits for any value.

  There are manual entries for this if you have a look..

  You need to use the scrollx and scrolly system actions

  To simply pin the scroll position onto an object you just have:

  every tick: scroll to position: object.x, object.y

  It might also help to enable Unbounded scrolling in the project properties

  Reverse the conditions so that number=2 is above Pick nearest.

  In short:

  for x position you need to refer to Cos(heli.angle)

  and for y position: Sin(heli.angle)

  Sin and Cos basically generate a number between 1 and -1 depending on the angle given.

  I played with nimtrix's and made the button a physics object too

  I got to the part where I need to make it scale and suddenly realised I have no idea what I'm doing.jpg

  It now scrolls half way between the cats furthest apart though.

  it's a start I guess

  Are you doing this using the physics behaviour?

  There really should be a remove game option. :\</p>

  I have something pretty similar

  I'm using moving = -1,0,1 for moving left, standing still, and moving right.

  I found myself able to condense multiple events..

  Say there's two events for one object:

  the first runs when A is 0 and the action makes something = B

  the second runs when A is 1 and the action makes something = B + C

  you can just have one event which runs instead of both where the action is B+(C*A)

  It sounds like a one off occasion but i've ended up using something similar to this atleast three or four times. I've no idea if it's faster or slower during runtime, but it makes the events look a bit simpler.

  And occasionally I find myself unexpectedly wanting a third option after intending something to be boolean.

  A good example was if you have Player and NPC's both use the same 'body' object as a base, you will need a variable "player" to determine which one the user controls.

  So I had Player=0 for npc's and Player=1 for the user.. As I was doing the controls I realised I could just have Player=2 and Player=3 also for some crude multiplayer :p

  Also yeah, the toggle option is useful..

  I got into the habit of using 1/0 for true/false. It had unexpected advantages so now I use 1/0 for instance variables also.

  Turning 'pixel rounding' on in the projects properties seems to fix it.
