Best Way to lock a character on an axis?

[Slastraf]

local vec = self.entity:GetPosition()

self.entity:SetPosition(vec.x,vec.y,0)

 

Above the current sollution but it makes the character slower and very glitchy.

Any better way to solve this ?

Would you be able to use a slider joint lock it on to the axis?

Couple of suggestions from these threads.

Hope it helps.

Josh said somewhere in this link : You do have the command Entity::PhysicsSetPosition which you can use to lock objects along a 2D plane without interrupting the physics simulation.

That is what i needed

 

 local vec = self.entity:GetPosition()
self.entity:PhysicsSetPosition(vec.x,vec.y,0)
