Question: How can I determine the place where an actor lands after getting hit?

Zwire

Explanation:

I wanna have an actor stand somewhere on a certain position. After it gets hit with another actor it has to land for example 1 cm behind its previous place and not any further.

Do I have to make an integer and then make an attribute about position?

I cant figure it out.

Any help will be appreciated.

if actor1 overlaps or collides with actor2
interpolate self.position.x to self.position.x -1 in 0.3 seconds ( if you want over a period of time )
or
change attribute self.position.x to self.position.x - 1

Hi Icebox,

I dont think thats it. Tried both methods but it did nothing.

After the player is hit it has to automatically move to a fixed position where it can only be moved when hit again.

Here a picture of the situation:

@Zwire -- are the fixed positions at equidistant intervals? For example, is each fixed position always 50 pixels apart?

@Zwire Is this what you mean ?

I attached a demo in case you want it

Hi Thurman,

Thanks for your reply.

Not necessarily. Its just about 2 random positions I made up.

Hi Icebox,

Thats exactly what I meant. Thanks!

It doesn't seem really fluid when getting knocked back. Is it better to make it animated when getting knocked back?

@Icebox, nice demo. Love the particle trail.

@Zwire Hello there sorry i just did it the way i prefer it to be , maybe play with the numbers or try other methods when it collides, i really dont know how fluid you would like it to be so it depends on you , I hope you find a solution though .

@jamie_c Thanks !
