Hello Game salad

I was wondering if anybody know's how to make an arrow just like Fraggger which it rotates from a specific location. If so is there a demo for this. :)

    Here is an arrow demo. One arrow has its own pivot point (at the end of the arrow). It requires some pretty interesting math. The other arrow has its pivot point at the center of the image (the center is GS's default pivot point). But it is a lot less math intense.

    To make the second arrow work, all you need to do is make your arrow graphic twice as long but have the left half of it empty (transparent).

    Ok thanks but i was after more of this if this is possible.

    How do you make a power arrow which when pressed make the ball move quicker. Just like the cannon ball game in game salad. But i need the arrow to be constrained at the bottom but it needs to also orbit around a ball. Please help

    Now, I would suggest that you figure out how to make it work with gravity (and add some nice graphics). Then post back to the forum so that others can see your progress.

    @tshirt -- thanks for the power formula!

    BTW -- I just played fragger for the first time. What a fun game. Perfect for GameSalad's capabilities.

    Hope this helps!

    Looks good so far!

    As for the dots, how about having a long image of dots that just gets pulled out from the left side. (The right side of the image could be tied to the arrow.) If you layer things right it might give the look you want.

    Hope that helps!
