Hey guys,

I would like to know if there is a way to know, in-game, if an actor is moving. Is this possible?
I have searched the forums and I couldn't find anything.

Thanks for your time,
Bray

    yep just check the linear velocity

    if linear velocity x is 0 your players not moving at all on the x, if its greater then 0 hes moving right, if its a negative and less then 0 hes moving left

    if linear velocity y is 0 your players not moving on the y at all, if its greater then 0 hes moving up and if its a negative and less then 0 hes moving down

    hope that helps

    Hey thanks John!

    Okay, it's not working.

    What I want is when a ball isn't moving anymore, then i want it to be unmovable.

    So here is what I have:

    Rule: When attribute self. linear velocity x is 0 and when linear velocity y is 0:

    Change attribute self.Physics.movable TO false.

    But they still move when another ball hits it.
    Any idea why?

    its not working because you cant change the moveable attribute in game

    constrain the linear motion x and y to 0 if you want it to become not moveable

    or record the position you want it to stay at and constrain the self position x and y to those cordinates

    Alright, ill try that. Thank you.

    Nope, that doesn't work. They look like they are being hit when they are not.

    What I am after is you shoot a ball, where ever, and when it stops moving, I want it to be grounded, so it doesn't move anymore.

    Or I might be constraining it wrong.
