Title: How to roll a 1 x 1 x 2 box along the floor
Post by: DaiDesign on April 03, 2013, 09:32:13 PM

Hi

I've been trying to get a box (Dimensions are 1m x 1m x 2m) to roll along the floor when a key is pressed with no results. I don't want to use gravity, as I trigger gravity on when the box goes over the edge of the platform.

How can I set up the FSM to achieve this.

Any help with this would be amazing as I have tried for days.

Thanks in advance.

You mean a box like this?

- Arrow keys to move
- Number pad to rotate camera

Yep. Like that.

I've set the cam up already to rotate either left or right 90 degrees, plus zoom in  and out. At the moment I'm using a script to move the box but can't change the code to change the box direction after camera has rotated (As I can't code, good script as well, as I don't have to update it if I change the box dimensions). Plus I want to have the whole game made in Playmaker.

So how did you get the box to rotate using Playmaker, or did you use a script?

Whole game is created with playmaker, i don't use other scripts.
I use pivot points on the corners. So i rotate only the pivot points, not the box itself.

(sorry my english)

Thanks for the quick reply

I was just starting to use Empty Game Objects. Those screen caps look like a lot of head work. Plus thanks for posting them, I will try and make sense from them.

P.S. Your game looks good from those scrreenshots, and totally different from what I'm trying to do. Looks like a rolling box puzzle game mixed with Tower Defense, taken into the future and injected with steroids.
