    Hey Buildbox family!!

    So I'm on a little mission to create a rocket ship that's flown in a similar style to the one in "Geometry Dash". One where the character jumps into and rocket ship then becomes controllable by touching. I'm guessing it has to be an action that overlays the character but not sure what to do past that. I've seen it done before (think it was in Darthy), anybody mind sharing their secret on doing it? Would greatly appreciate it!

    It is just a gameplay action with the art layered over top. Make the gameplay action and start tweaking the settings. I have not tried to make the rocket ship work that way but you might be able to. I would use the joystick controller for movement and dial back the movement so that the rocket is slower to start. If you have any other questions I'm always around for chat

    This is not possible with Buildbox 1.x. The only option is what Collin says, but it replaces the original character. No way to join the action object (the spaceship) with your current character. You can include in the action graphic your character so it seems that he jumped in.

    Did you ever figure this out?
