Hi,I know this question is a stupid one but I am new to gamesalad so I don't know how to figure it out.My question is how can I make a ball go trough a ring(for example) and can someone tell me how you do this type of functions in gamesalad.
Thanks in advance

    If you want the ball to bounce off of the ring, you're going to need a custom collision shape for the ring and a circle collision shape for the ball. Otherwise, with both default collision shapes (rectangles) or one rectangle and one circle, your collisions are going to be triggered when the ball actor hits the ring actor's boundary (not the visible image but the rectangle containing the actor's dimensions). I've drawn the boundary in blue to show what I mean.
