Drills are free, free falling...

#1 I'm not sure exactly what you're talking about. Either way, the InAir physics state is what allows actors to fall to the ground.

#2 I am a newbie and therefore my questions are a bit vague and silly and I am Swiss and therefore my English is far from perfect...
As I already said, I am experimenting with the components of the platformer kit and torque x.

I wanna do the following:

The player should be able to push the drills around like in the microbes tutorial.
I can spawn drills and push them around with the attractor and repeller components from the microbes tutorial.
But it is not so easy as I thought (remember I am a newbie...) because when I apply a (Drill)ActorComponent to the drills, then the player cannot push them anymore.

#3 The ActorComponent most probably has physics (movement) related states that over-ride your repulsion/attraction components--the method the repulsion/attraction component is nifty for what it does, but isn't really designed as a completely independent and "cooperative" physics input that works with other components.

#4 I see...

Nevertheless, can you give me an advice how I should create an object that I can push from a platform?

Thank you very much in adv :-)

#5 Well, I would start with the Platformer Starter Kit documentation that discusses actor movement, and then look at the C# code that implements this movement, and then adjust my repeller/attractor components to provide information to the actor component instead of trying to control the physics of my owner directly (which is what the repeller component current does if I remember correctly).

#6 Thank you very much for your help :-)

#7 Also, you will probably want to look into InheritedVelocity on the ActorComponent for applying forces to actors.
