Hi all,
I'm applying a velocity to a physic object in a certain angle using this code:


I'm decreasing the object speed by multiplying the object velocity x and y by 0.98 each loop.

I'm trying to change the angle using cursor left and right with setspriteangle(obj,getspriteangle(obj)+2) or setspriteangle(obj,getspriteangle(obj)-2), depending on what key is pressed... but the object continues with its original direction.
Anybody knows how can I change the object direction to the new angle with the current object's speed...
Hope the explain is ok...

Thanks in advance.

You need to change the velocity to suit the angle rather than the other way around.

SetSpritePhysicsVelocity is based on screen not sprite angle. You need to use sin and cos of the sprite angle to set the velocity.

I tried to set up a simple test, to try applying angle to vector, sort of. And to see if I could help BraindeaD figure out what to do.

And found that I cannot make the sprite move at all! The same basic code works fine in the game I'm doing, but this simple snippet won't work!



Cheers,

Hi and thanks for the replies.
The main idea is emulate the aftertouch effect in games like kickoff and sensible soccer.
Finally I get something similar using:

You must add or subtract 90 to the angle depending on the key pressed to emulate the left or right aftertouch.
thanks again for your help.
