Triggers that "Pull"
by Jacob Boura · in Torque Developer Network · 03/03/2010 (3:23 pm) · 2 replies
So Im doing nothing but programming for a project right now, and I was asked to make a "sticky wall" that would pull the player in if the player gets too close, BUT it has to be escapeable.
I was thinking of mixing a trigger with a getTransform or something so that when the player enters the trigger, the trigger will alter the players x or y position slightly, and then i could out a larger tick on the trigger so that the player has a chance to escape.
the problem is that i never have luck with get transforms, and I cant think of how to type it out.
any help would be apprieciated.

Actualy someone did mention that to me yesterday. It sounds good, though I've never used one, I'll give it a shot.

You set them up like triggers, and they can modify a players velocity, gravity, or to apply a force to the player (the last one is what you're looking for I think) when they player enters their area.
