Make a ball bounce up and down

[kingkwong92]

Sorry to double post but I had no views anyway. I wanted to change my title. I want a trigger that makes my basketball bounce up and down.

Deadly task that, I'd suggest making the ball a flyer unit, and do some animation - change flying height triggering. I haven't tried it, but i'm sure it'd work

Yea I tried it for the first time and it doesn't work! I made it a flying unit and changed its animation flying height but it doesn't work.

hmm you've got my attention now.. lemmie have a look see

• Bouncy
  • Events
    • Time - Every 0.04 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set BounceBall = ChikahChickahhh 0003 <gen>
    • Set BounceHeight = (Current flying height of BounceBall)
      • Multiple FunctionsIf (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
        • If - Conditions
          • BounceHeight Less than or equal to (<=) 100.00
          • BounceHeight Greater than (>) 80.00
        • Then - Actions
          • Set BounceChecker = True
        • Else - Actions
          • Do nothing
      • Multiple FunctionsIf (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
        • If - Conditions
          • BounceHeight Less than or equal to (<=) 559.00
          • BounceHeight Greater than (>) 500.00
        • Then - Actions
          • Set BounceChecker = False
        • Else - Actions
          • Do nothing
      • Multiple FunctionsIf (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
        • If - Conditions
          • BounceChecker Equal to (==) True
        • Then - Actions
          • Animation - Change BounceBall flying height to (BounceHeight + 6.00) at 100.00
        • Else - Actions
          • Animation - Change BounceBall flying height to (BounceHeight - 6.00) at 100.00

That seems to work fine.. You can really make the ball look like its bouncing by doing stuff like change the (bounceHeight - 6.00) into something like (BounceHeight - (6 - (BounceHeight / 100)))

I haven't tested that, but the theory is that the higher it gets to 560 (the max height) the slower it will move.. but my maths is often off, so done quote me for it

Edit: Oh and BounceBall is the unit and so is Chickachickaaa
BounceHeight is the flying height of the unit
and BounceChecker is just a boolean

Thanks, I don't know what's wrong with mine because it's pretty similar to yours. It works now anyway. Thanks! +REP

EDIT!! Height less that or equal to 0 doesn't work. Thats why mine wasn't working. Thanks anyway
