Falling collectables

[Atherton]

Hi, whats the easiest method for creating collectables that are dropped from an active when it is destroyed without having them sink into the floor when they land, i've tried using a bouncing ball movement, and a few other things involving flags but i'm having a bit of trouble with my collectable either sinking into the floor or stopping too soon

any help would be much appreciated
thanks

Just manually move the X and Y of the object, simply have it always move donw, unless it's coliding with the backgorund. And if it's overlapping the background, move it up.

I tried something like that already and it worked ok for if i wanted the item to fall down slowly but when i changed it to fall down faster it pushed my object back up to far

Then you can fastloop it up one pixel at a time until it's correct. There is a great tutorial on exactly this using fastloops. Link on the sidebar>>>

thanks, I did some experimenting in the last couple of minutes and found certain values seem to work and others don't i think it has something to to with the size of my object/backdrop and the actives initial position or something like that but i'll take a look at the tutorial
