Move actor on x-axis

Mr.Noname

Hi guys,

I want to make an actor move only on the x-axis and not on the y-axis.

In other words I want to make the actor move left when it touch the left screen edge then move right and so on.

So what do I need to do ?

thanks in advance

put 3 rules in your actor

If device > touches> count is greater then 0
if device> mouse position X is greater then self position X

constrain self.Motion.Linear Velocity.X to 100

If device > touches> count is greater then 0
if device> mouse position X is less then self position X

constrain self.Motion.Linear Velocity.X to -100

and lastly

If device > touches> count is 0

self.Motion.Linear Velocity.X to 0

Hope that helps!

I also have started a guide book on youtube, watching these videos will hopefully help you start understanding the basics of game salad

Thanks a lot @ashtmj‌

My 2nd question is how can I spawn an actor in an certain area?

So I want to spawn an actor in an rotating actor an shoot with the spawned actor from the certain area which is in the rotating actor!

I checked your youtube channel nice stuff and good luck!

You'll have to give an example of what you mean. An image would be best or a link to an existing game with the same mechanics. Without that, I would assume you mean a tank turret... something like that?

@tatiang thanks for your info

but I don't know how to put in a pic haha

So I try it to describe it better:

I want to make an rotating actor that rotates automatically and in that actor there is an free space. You can imagine it like a rotating pac man with a fixed mouth. In the "mouth" of the rotating actor I want to be there spawned a little ball with I can shoot when I tap on the screen and it have to take that direction where the "mouth" is, so when the actor rotates to the left side off the screen and I tap there that it shoot on the left side.

I hope it is now understandable

thanks in advance

I made a demo... is this what you mean? Click the mouse button to shoot a projectile.

Exactly @tatiang‌ Thank you
