    Hi,

    I have a problem with the Transform logic. I have an object that is moving with a lineair velocity in the Y direction (moving up). I want to stop the object (linear velocity 0) and set the y position a few pixels up when it hits the Transform. I use the position modifier Y for this. For some reason, it doesn't work. The object disappears.

    However, when I change the X position a few pixels to the left (thus position modifier X), it works. Is the position modifier for Y broken?

    How are the current properties of the object you want to transform? Could you attach a screenshot?

    You have set the linear velocity "y" to 3 in your object, try setting a "-3" value to the right box in Linear Velocity Modifier in the transform logic to stop it from moving.

    As regards transforming the position, you only set the "y" value, try setting also the "x" value (the left box).

    I don't understand why it is behaving like that... I've tried many combinations and it's not working right at all... send this into support@buildbox.com

    this changed then with no notice... it's always been scene driven... i've done it plenty of time as I'm sure you have...

    It's always been scene based for that very reason... No way can I believe that they changed it to "entire game" based as it would break it beyond belief. @theseanjonathanconnor must have been sleepwalking when he told you that...

    I gave the info to @theseanjonathanconnor after testing and talking to the development team. I didn't check the historical behavior but I don't believe it has changed, I could be wrong though, I will have to go back and check.

    What ever happened with this @Andy @tweettopix @theseanjonathanconnor ? I'm having trouble with position logic transform behaving properly right now, and I'm wondering if it's the same issue...

    edit- If I preview the scene, it behaves properly because of the x and y I have input, but then if I let the preview keep going (it rolls back to start at the end of the previewed scene) and get to the same scene only 2 scenes later... it doesn't work, and if it's putting things in position relative to the entire world's played distance... it's broke... very broke...

    Is it possible to use Logic Transform for Characters?

    Agree, for now I would use relative positioning (the "Add" modifier) if possible until we can fix the absolute positioning.

    Was this ever fixed? I'm still using BB 1.3.6 and have noticed this problem too.
