Oscillator (Where to find?)

[GoldenFrog]

Hello fellows. I am making a Sketchyphysics Lego game, and wanted to know how to make a character walk. I've heard the oscillator joint could be of some use, but I'm not sure where to look. Please help. Thanks

Thank you very much! I'll be sure to try it!

I tryed it, and it works. Ther's only one problem. How can I make a key control the oscillator?

Put

if key("W")==1; oscillator(50);else;0;end

in the controller box.

Change the key and oscillator speed by change the "W" to something else ("Space","Shift" etc) and (50) to whatever you want.

edit:

if you put

if key("W")==1;oscillator((slider("Oscillator")+1)*20);else;0;end

in controller box you will get a slider to adjust the speed of the oscillator when you have press the key.

When will the thing be done, though?

[GoldenFrog]

Give me time, give me time. A sketchyphysics game has a lot of work hat needs to go into it. A reasonable etimate is sometime in the latter part of next week.

Thank you hpnisse! Now that I know how to use keys, I made this!

Use the arrow keys to control it

I have never been able to figure out how to use the oscillator joint. Instead, I usually use the slider joint. All you have to do is make the slider the right length and then, select it and click the UI button to the left of the joint connection tool. Once you have the UI open, find the controller box.

Once you find the controller box, simply type oscillator(500) You can substitute 500 for any number. The higher the number, the slower the object will oscillate. I suggest starting at 500, and then fine tuning it.
