I need help on making conveyour belt physics on a 2d point of view. At the very least, I just need something that will push my character to the left of the screen and drops similar to this nitrome game. http://nitrome.com/games/supertreadmill

I am not copying, but I just need to know how I can make a conveyor belt in GS
Thanks in advance!

    Give this a look

    If this is not dropping off the way you are wanting let me know I created several different ways in working this one out.

    All it requires is an animation actor to cover all of the working actors to visually finish the appearance of a conveyor belt.

    Here's a video of an app I'm working on.

    Email me (GSUsername@gmail.com) if you're interested in seeing the GS file.

    Updated video of my conveyor belt demo. Video is a little choppy due to cheapo (read: free) screen cap app. Tests run on my iPod touch 4 never dipped below 59 FPS, even when played for over 5 mins.

    I've spent about 2 days in total on this. I still want to clean up the code/commenting a little bit, but I plan to release this as a paid template if anyone is still interested. I haven't looked at Utopian's platformer template, but I can't think of a reason this couldn't be implemented within that if you need conveyor belts for a platformer.

    Don't worry ktfright, I'll send it to you for free if you're still interested... ;-)

    Thanks, but I ended up passing on the whole thing. the direction of my alpha build of my game has changed drastically! :)

    No worries. Your question sparked my interest and now I have a nearly finished game engine to work from. ;-)
