Title: How would I set up 2D gravity in a center point like mario galaxy planet?
Post by: Gav (HeyBud) on February 02, 2014, 02:40:21 PM

Is this possible to do with playmaker? I'd like to have a 2d circle collider and be able to have player run around on it's surface in players X axis.  Could i achieve this somehow with Set Gravity 2D action?  ::)

Hi,

 yes, you could. You would simply set the gravity as the player moves around to adjust the gravity based on where he is.

Hi Jean, thanks for the reply.
I should clarify that I'd like everything on the circle to adhere to the gravity anywhere on the surface, like a planet. I was hoping to have enemies and other game objects also stick on the surface in different places.
I would imagine that if the gravity changes with the character, that would mean objects/NPCs on opposite side of circle would fly away into space. Or am I wrong would I just need to set the gravity as the player moves to adjust it where he is?
Thanks,  :)
Gavin

Hi,

 no, you will have to do this for all objects, as their gravity direction will each be unique.

also, check this out, it may be exactly what you need.

Ah, that makes sense. Thanks for what you do, man. I'm sure I'll need help again in the future. I'll look into those tutes, too.
