Hey I REEEEAAAAALLLYYYY need to know how you did this darren.
My game is called Catapult™
I need to know how to drop a block with NO BOUNCE (i already have the drag and drop setup) but in order for it to drop wherever you have the wood at you press the GO button and it will drop.
I want it to hit a piece of wood and launch a ball.
Please sho me how to do this,you will make my life SO MUCH EASIER THANKS!

    it if you dont want something to bounce go inot the actors physics settings and turn restitution to 0
  • tenrdrmertenrdrmer Member, Sous Chef, Senior Sous-Chef Posts: 9,934
    Set all of the restitution to 0 and add and accelerate down behavior to your block. Please don't call out for an individual in your thread title as many people hear can answer most questions. A descriptive title would be much appreciated.

    Thanks
    Aaron

    ok sorry tenrdmer
  • tenrdrmertenrdrmer Member, Sous Chef, Senior Sous-Chef Posts: 9,934
    Ok so if you already have a go button setup I would assume you have it triggering an attribute like game.go to true or false so make a rule in your ball that is when game.go it true accelerate down.

    It kinda sounds like your making something like bubble ball so while obviously I will help you out some either way have you looked at my GS BubbleBall template? its all setup for you basically.

    no offense or anything but i just wanna do it myself right now cuz im broke...LOL.... anyways how do i do this again??
    1.) i dont have any attributes or anything set up for the ball or the go button or the wood piece to move when you press go so it falls on it and launches the ball.. CAN U TRY TO BE AS SPECIFIC AS POSSIBLE
    and how can i make a ball in photoshop and not have the image the square though like cut the edges to just the ball or something.. i use cs3.. thanks 4 your time!!!
    so these are my main questions
    HOW DO I GET THE BALL TO LAUNCH BY THE WOOD.
    HOW DO I GET IT TO LIKE ROTATE LIKE WHEN ITS ROLLING SO LIKE THE FACE OF THE BALL WHILE BE ROTATING...
    AND THATS IT!

    go under the physics attributes of the ball and change the collosion shape to circle
  • JDeGamesJDeGames Member Posts: 85

    It seems to me you are likely getting your cart in front of the horse. If you have that many questions I would suggest taking a step back an reading through the wiki and watching the cookbook videos because most of that stuff is fairly basic and should be learned through those sources. I'm not against helping out by any means but you seem to be no where and asking for all the answers.

    ok thanks but all i have is 1 MORE....... how do i et the white ox around my ball to dissapear
  • jonmulcahyjonmulcahy Member, Sous Chef Posts: 10,408
    to get the white box to disappear, mkae sure you save your graphic with the area around the box transparent.

    but I agree with tenrdrmer

    Watch all these youtube videos, they will give you a solid footing on how to use gamesalad
    http://www.youtube.com/user/GameSaladCookbook

    then
    go through this list of demos and take a look at actual projects
    http://gamesalad.com/forums/topic.php?id=11558

    after that you should have a much firmer understanding on how GS works, and probably know enough to figure this out on your own.
