Literally....look THREE posts up. lolOriginally Posted by Stllbreathnbuty
An alternative method to what sparky said, and something I'm using right now to make a maze, is have your game character be stopped by triggers, which turn off your stick movement. (Use my video above in conjuction with walls that have a trigger on either side. State event 'ON' for the stick through "on leave" and 'OFF' for the stick through "on active". You can find "on leave" and "on active" under the area trigger advanced options. I can make another video later, I have it all set up already.

I saw your video. Started watching it, looked very interesting, but I didn't think it applied to what I am going for, so I didn't watch the whole thing. Could be wrong, I guess I could watch itOriginally Posted by Jarr3tt88

It does depend on how your moving your game character. My tutorial is best for specific movement (grid movement). BUT it does limit stick movement, which might be helpful (game area constraint)Originally Posted by StllbreathnbutyI saw your video.

Like I said I have a maze, and that might be more of what you're looking for as for stopping game character movement (as described above).
Have you tried using the custom collisions as walls?

It's just a standard 8 way moving character. Depending on what my brain will let me accomplish, I was thinking of making it an RPG. So the gameworld would just be purdy, with treasure chests or other bonus items to find, and maybe some simple puzzles to solve with an action button.
I haven't tried a whole lot to make walls, since I wasn't quite sure how it's done. Custom collisions, wouldn't I just pass through them?
Anywho, I'm going to fire up the game now and mess around.

No...and should work well for what you need. I have an inprog minefield game using the FPS example and custom collisions....worked great!Originally Posted by Stllbreathnbuty

No, it passes through them. As I said up there my guy is an OPE, not physics. So I'll need to resort to fancy business to restrict his movement.
Senior Member
Come to think of it. Maybe I should just use physics, and the ball. Make the ball invisible, OPE my character to the balls location, take away the OPE's movement logic and keep its rotation. It should then look exactly the same but no more pesky wall problems.
So much work....I just want a masterpiece to make itself. Is that so much to ask?

Try mine and sparks suggestion then. Its not that hard, I can make a video if you need.Originally Posted by StllbreathnbutyCome to think of it. Maybe I should just use physics, and the ball.

This is my newest tutorial I have made: https://docs.google.com/drawings/d/1...1gHMxXJkw/edit
But still no answers from aWebDesigner for a collaborator
Translucent object (well kind of...)
I found this out a while ago but didn't know if anyone else knows, i did create a thread about so some know unfortunatly i cannot create links on the IE on Xbox.
It might come in handy for some "Weird Science" track but i used this for a static TV on my track etc...
I'll try my best to say how it's done.
Get an interval trigger and set it to 1 tick.
Get and OPE
Get a Curve data source (1)
Set the Curve data sources duration tick to 2 tick's (0.033)
Get a operator, 2-input operator
set a sum of 1 divided by 2 or above making the value in the operator under 1 (0.25, 0.5 etc)
Connect the operator to the end value and set both loop and invert to check.
Connect the curve data source to any axis.
connect the OPE's target to the big steel ball or prime, mainly because they are the only objects i have used so far but you can test with.
If it does not work then play with the end value on the operator if you have to go over 1, but as i said choose any axis that suits because going far with the value will bring you to a second thing, when you go far enough this method will create 2 translucent objects beside each other kind of like cloning someone but they are translucent, i did this with the steel balls and set the end value to 10 and there were 2 translucent steel balls 10 meters apart on the z axis to try hiding it or as i sadi stick under 1....hope that makes sense lol im sh** at explaining these kind of things...
