    Hi,

    maybe somebody can help me. I need an enemy which spawns every some seconds and moves automatically. Then it should change it direction, by collision a platform.

    So, I have an object and added Advanced Move with dollowing settings: Linear Velocity = 10, Mathematical Operation = Add, Event = On Start.

    So this works fine. My Enemy walks automatically.

    I have added second Advanced Move with following settings: Linear Velocity = -10, Mathematical Operation = Replace, Event = Collision, Affected Asset = All (I also tried other affected assets)

    The second Advanced Move does not work. Nothing happens. What am I doing wrong?

    Thanks
    Best Regards

    I think, I have to add an animation in the advanced moves and also add collision shape to this animations. But if I do this and start my game, Buildbox crashes. So I cannot try this solution.

    I have the same question. I have two objects moving towards each other and I want them to change direction on collision.

    My object has a Advanced Move with Linear Velocity: -8, Mathematical Expression: Replace (with add, it will accelerate the object) and Event: On Start.
    And another Advanced Move with Linear Velocity: -1, Mathematical Expression: Multiply, Event: On Collision, and affected asset: the object(I've tried everything).

    I've also noted that if the sub-object is set to fixed it will not move (advanced move) but if I set linear velocity on the sub-object it will move.

    I believe your problem can be done with a Logic Transform piece, you will have to place one on every platform though. Or, if it has a set path try using the Logic Path.
    NOTE: My problem could also be done with a logic transform or path piece, but with the advanced move it would be much easier and better. It doesn't make any sense to me why it does not work..


    I've tried your suggestion and it doesn't work.

    @denban @AlexandreAbreu I got it working.What i did was i add the animation on advance move and set scale to -1,1 and just clicked edit collision and didn't do any change and simply exit.Viola it worked.
