Interpolate Question.

Ok Im using the style of movement like the Main actor in StarDaze. It uses Interpolate. on touch move actor to touchxy.
Now my actor needs to travel thru a gap (open door) and I have the door close behind him. For some reason Collide behavior isn't working. Is this because its a interpolate. When I use a constrain to touchxy style of movement it works. But I have to use Interpolate. SO is this a Interpolate issue?

My actor is passing right thru the door and walls.

    Yes, interpolate does not work with collide rules.

    Is there a style like this that would work with Collide rules? Or is there another way to emulate the Collide Rules? that would work with interpolate?

    The only other way I can think of is to use a Move To behavior.

    You could probably use a variation of tshirtbooth's demo. Its a real gem!

    @ Jeffnichols

    to use interpolateBehavior:

    gameAttributes:
    1. goToX … index type
    2. goToY … index type
    3. doorState … index type

    2 sensorActors for left/right of door … to set goTos touchX/Y

    Here is a template that shows how to do it through (fairly convoluted?) logic. Graphically it is pretty ugly, but it has most of the functionality you are looking for.

    @RThurman … your demo is exquisite! … as always!

    @Jeffnichols … saw your video in your other post … love the UI

    demo for your requests: http://www.mediafire.com/?ei5d03ycws1qbf6

    tried to give you lots of options for different levels
    think this would work well with tables

    I would definitely go with the @MotherHoose example. It demonstrates so much! Like how to 1) initialize a design state/stage and then initiate a game state, 2) set things up for multiple levels, 3) use tags to communicate, and 4) use the behavior block titles to tell what is going on (good documentation).

    Check out this behavior title:
    Rule: myCount = 1 √ Otherwise:
    Is there any doubt that you need to check the otherwise section!

    How about this one:
    Rule: touch ➢ = currentState √ X;Y ➢ interpolate √ Otherwise:
    This is great documentation practice!

    Sorry to gush -- but this demo shows solid craftsmanship.
