sinus support gamesalad?

wouter

hi is there any sinus support in gamesalad?
i have to make a beautiful sinus that can have a different amplitudes...

if this is impossible how can i make a smooth curve as movement of the game character? (up and down)

Yes, there are Sin and Cos trig functions in GameSalad. They're accessible through the Expression Editor.

??? what's that (medical stuff?? xD)

euhm i didn't get results.
my character stays on 1/3 of the screen (camera control), so i didn't know if the x changed.
so i created a game attribute x.
also i created a timer-> every 0,2 seconds change attribute game.x to game.x+1.
also in this timer:
move-> direction = sin(game.x)

but the character only went forward (and not in sinus curves).

what to do???

thanks

for waves and circular motions you need to use your sin and also your cos for y as well

have a look at these:
