Both actors have a keydown event so they can move together.
I gave one actor a collision event with an object. Whenever it collides, it stayes behind while the other actor proceeds moving. How can I keep them together?

Why you don't parent the actors?

instead of moving the actors together with key down events, do that with one actor, and on the draw event set the other actors x and y based on the keydown event actor.

I parented them However, my main goal is to keep them together even when one collides with something. I cant figure it out and worse, I cant continue my game untill I learn how

put a cilision on the two

What do you want to happen when one collides? Do you want them both to stop?

Yes sir!

Check this or try it at your leisure:


Depending on the size of your graphic character, in this example its 32x32:



Keydown Event = Down
{
y = y + 6; //speed of travel
newactor.y = aminactor.y -32;
newactor.x = aminactor.x;
}

Keydown Event = Up
{
y = y - 6; //speed of travel
newactor.y = aminactor.y +32;
newactor.x = aminactor.x;
}

Keydown Event = Right
{
x = x +6; //speed of travel
newactor.x = aminactor.x - 32;
newactor.y = aminactor.y;
}

Keydown Event = Left
{
x = x -6; //speed of travel
newactor.x = aminactor.x + 32;
newactor.y = aminactor.y;
}

I dont understand what that code will do, all I need is something to stop an actor. I tought of something; when the collide actor collides, i'll disable my main actor's keydown events keeping him absent from movement. However, I need him to move anyplace but past the collision.
Guess i'll also use keydown events for the collide actor so when it moves away from the collision I can enable my main characters keydown events again. I hope it works...

I got what I wanted! Thanks all! I couldnt have nailed it without you!
