Ask a Question / Mouse Movement Nullify Hit Detection ?

 This setup will not work when I use my mouse to bump my actor against a tile wall.

Use the horizontal and vertical speed with the atan2 block to get the angle of travel.

Produces a non-useful number

Is there a way to determine angle of travel ?

 I did attempt that script shown, but that only works for up and down.

Why not just set the bounce in Physics ? So easy ?

The angle of reflection is very bad.

I seem not to be having any luck making something bounce around a box. What am I doing wrong ?

* squints *

 I really am not able to tell that the nesting exists, unless I look very carefully at it.

One of the first things I noted when playing around with logic, is the math nesting is not well defined.

 Advanced math functions should be added such as the use of ( ) to define which order numbers should be calculated,

Code: [Select]

9 + 2 -3 x 4
> > >  32
( 9 + 2 ) - ( 3 x 4 )
> > >  -1

and the " += , -=, *=, /= " ( self +, self -, self *, self / ) for containers.

Code: [Select]

x = 5
x +=2
> > >  7
Y = "A"
Y +="B"
> > > AB

In other words, redownload all the resources each time I want to create a new project ? Or am I missing something ...

I would like to use actors from one game setup to another, but can not find the option to do so. "Resource Packs" is greyed out, and unclick-able.

 How can I  reuse items from a different game, or do I have to re-download everything for each project ?
