    I made an actor so that my title moves to that actor's position. How do I make my title move towards that actor?

    I think he means how do you find out the POSITION POINTS

    good it worked! I actually put it in a x coordinate. Another question. Do you know how to make it go to that point and then tremble for a bit? You know what I am talking about right?

    Can anyone give me ideas for title screen effects to make it look more polished?

    TSB I am actually doing this on your iDot template ;)
    I like the sand thingy! How do I do that? Probably gotta find a dust animation on the Internet and then once it reaches the position the dust animation comes... Am I right?

    Hi, just put the Rules from TSB's demo into the sprite actor rather than the background actor; still do the trick.

    Making something shake could be as simple a thing as building 4 invisible walls, (a bottom, 2 sides and a top) - positioned so that they capture the falling title.

    The top must be out of the way at the beginning, but can "snap" into place, to "imprison" the title when it reaches the desired position. The enclosing space around the title must be only slightly larger than the title, itself.

    By giving the title a high restitution value, and by checking "Movable", the title will now "bounce" within the tiny enclosure of the walls - and keep bouncing, (quite rapidly), appearing to "shake" or vibrate.

    A timer could be used to enable the physics attribute of the actor to "turn off" after a short period.

    It's just a "physical" solution to something that could be done more mathematically, if desired.
