Physics question! Making AI that uses Physics Platformer/Physics Static movement

[Krim]

I am attempting to make a simple AI enemy for a brawler that I am working on. It's just a test to see if it's possible but so far it's not looking great. I can't figure out how to move an object left/right without it toppling over. As far as I can tell the values that I need to mess with is either Force, Impulse, Linear Velocity and/or Angular Velocity (this is taking into account what angle degree to apply the force to) I've tried all of these already. What am I doing wrong?

Also is it possible to take the static movement physics object and make it a custom physics platformer object?

To make the physics static movement move like that without falling over, you need to set the object's properties so that the "fixed angle" property is enabled. Then it shouldn't be able to fall over.

Is it possible to change "fixed angle" at run time? That way I can have more dynamic knockback physics for enemies.

[happygreenfrog]

I think you could change it at runtime by using multiple movements, and simply changing movements to the one with the right settings when you need to change settings.

You sir are a genius. It's been awhile since I've MMF'd so all the little tricks and work arounds that I used to know have become confusing and out of my reach once again.
