Custom Ball Movement

[izac]

Hey.

I am trying to make a custom ball movement. But I am having problems with the detectors.

Basically, what I want to do is, make the detector loop through each ball(..Eg 40+ balls), and check if it is collisioning with a backdrop. And if it isn't, move the ball down 1 pixel. And so on...

Any help apriecated.

P.S:I'm not that great at explaining things so if you don't understand my question just tell me and I'll try my best to explain it better

* start of level
- Ball: spread 0 to ID (an alterable value)

* always
- start loop "down"

* on loop "down"
+ ID of Ball = LoopIndex "down"
+ [Negate]Ball is overlapping a backdrop
- Ball: ypos = ypos +1

Here is an example I made a while ago that may help with your problem. The boxes constantly fall until they overlap.

That is kind of what I want.

But instead have a detector loop through each ball to check if it is touching a backdrop.

If I use your method I am going to have a lot of troubles as it is a Ball movement I am creating.

Thanks

check if it is collisioning with a backdrop. And if it isn't, move the ball down 1 pixel. And so on...

That is what my example basically does, if there is no backdrop directly below it, it moves one pixel down. I can make you a custom ball engine example, but from what you said, I thought you meant something more like my example.

Oh ok sorry.

If you can could you please make me an example

But remember, it needs to work for more than 1 ball. like 40+ balls.

Here is my example. Sorry for the poor quality of the movement itself, I made this very quickly. It does support an unlimited number of objects though. Left-click to create them. This example is just to show how custom movements with multiple objects are done.
