Moving objects

[Derek mason]

Hi
I want to move a box down a packing line and send it at 90 degrees at the end. I can send it down the line but how do i make it change direction and keep moving

Push works well. Something like this inside the Sketchy Physics UI for the object.

xpos=0.0
ypos=0.0
xturn=150.0
yturn=150.0
ontick{
if frame%60 == 0
    if xpos < xturn || ypos > yturn
      push([1,0,0])
      puts ("pushx")
    else
      push([0,2,0])
      puts ("pushy")
    end
    xpos=position().x
    ypos=position().y
    puts(ypos)
end
}

This will push towards the x direction for awhile then push towards the y and then back to the x. You could also change the logic so the push direction changed based on touching the bumpers using the ontouch event.
