Recycling not working for me

So i've tried everything I can think of. Here is a video to show the problem a little better. But basically every pass of the coins the spacing changes even though they all recycle from the same point and back to the same point. I've tried every way possible to make them move and they all act a little different but do the same general thing. Also this video only has 1/4 of the coins the normal one has its even worse when they are all in the scene.

Any ideas how to over come this would be greatly appreciated. We have a game waiting on this to be smoothed out.



Thanks
Aaron

    i think the problem is the speed, i played around in a demo and the faster they moved, the worse the spacing messed up.

    here's the project I was playing with, if you adjust the speed in the attributes, you can see how they move.

    yes! how are you moving them across the screen? ...interpolate? (that gives the acceleration and variant gaps)... linear velocity? ... does the screen have Wrap X true?

    are the coins individually selectable/react to touch?

    how many coins are in your initial sequence that you are recycling? 7?

    That what i'm thinking to. I haven't tried wrapping the scene yet but really that does help since I need large scene so all of the ground actors and such will be able to recycle too.

    I have used all movement options, Interpolate, Change Velocity, Move, Accelerate, Etc…
    There are going to be 24
    they do not have any touch rules
    Haven't tried Wrapping. the scene is 1400 wide so I would need a lot more coins on scene to keep them even and the more actors the lower FPS.

    can you do it with several coins in one image?

    @Jon... loved the demo!

    tendrmer, you could always try contacting codemonkey, he might have some alternative ideas.

    i basically fixed it for him, it consisted of making the scene size smaller, using wrap, and constraining the linear velocity x.

    The only thing i couldnt figure out is why it got so weird with the bigger scene, even though i adjusted all the rules. if anyone else has some suggestions please chime in!

    I've actually sent a bug report a couple days ago but no reply. I think johns way will work. It hurt the fps a little and required more actors on the scene but it is moving evenly. I know I typed a reply about john doing his version but I guess I forgot to hit submit because I don't see it here.

    Is there a way to "wrap" some actors, and not others, btw?
