new motion actuators only showing loc and rot on 2.48a

Ive been using blender for a couple years now but I’m just now starting to learn the game engine. Whether I’m trying to add a new motion actuator to my own game (following tutorials) or adding a new motion actuator to any downloaded demo/example there are only options for location and rotation. But I can see and change the force, torque, linv, angv, and damp on pre-existing motion actuators from the demos.

I would normally think it’s because I have some setting wrong on another panel, except even if i delete an actuator that has these options and add a new one, they’re not there.

I am using blender 2.48a in Ubuntu, but everywhere I look online says they should be there on 2.48a.

Is this because the tutorials and everythings are outdated and the settings are somewhere else? Or is it something else?

p.s. If I posted this in the wrong section point me in the right direction :slight_smile:

Check to make sure that the object that you are adding the actuator to has the proper Logic. eg. make sure that you change the object to a rigid body, or what ever you need

also, could you post a link to these tutorials?

yeah that solved my problem :slight_smile: I’m not sure how I missed that, but thank you
