If you just use force and have multiple objects of all different sizes, the small objects will move faster. The mass*gravity expression ensures they all move the same speed, which is what happens in reality.

Set world gravity to 0

Set a global variable called "Gravity" and set it to 0.2.

Give the object the physics behaviour.

Event - Every Tick

Action - Apply force at angle

Angle = whatever you want, let's say 270 for fun.

Force = physics.mass*Gravity(variable)

Constant force doesn't give realistic physics.

World Grav = 0

Gravity Var = 0.2

Apply force to family = Object.Mass*Gravity Var

I'm not using 3rd party plugins, and I constantly got stuck. Waiting for Cocoon to be updated :(

That rarely happens. In fact, I can't think of a single time where things have changed beyond my understanding.

You can stick to just the stable versions if you prefer...

I'll help. I've been a tester on both games and software, and tend to have a natural ability at finding them :)

I'm also familiar with C2, so may be able to lend suggestions as to why the errors are appearing.

Question: Do you have control pad support? I'd like to give this a go on a TV.

I just wrote a nice explanation, but the damn thing timed out AGAIN!!!

Basically, it was:

Var1 = Current

Var2 = Previous

Every 0.001: Set Previous value to Current Value & Set Current value to tilt.

You can then compare greater or less than.

Hating this forum lately! Grrr!

Wow, that helped me! Been interested in shadows for ages, but couldn't see a way to do it without 3rd party plugins. This would probably work on mobile devices!

Thanks —

It works, but why do I need to add an extra step (I know it's only one)? What's the reason for it jumping up to 100% opacity?

Is there ever a time that you'll want it to go to 100% opacity first?

I'm using the fade behaviour to have an already transparent object fade in when created, and again fade out when it's to be destroyed. When I want it to fade in, it hits the transparency point and stays there... great! When It's deleted though, it shoots up to 100% transparency and then fades out.

CAPX

What am I doing wrong? Is this behaviour meant to work like this? I don't see how that's a useful feature.

*Also, side note, is anyone else experiencing issues with the forum? Nearly every time I try to post now I find it's timed me out. I'm not that slow a typist!
