MoveTo behavior request?

I see that the MoveTo behavior made by rexrainbow is very useful.

So i vote to be added to Construct 2.

Please share what you think.

I like LiteTween better than Rex's plugin. However I agree that having a basic Tween Plugin with motion options seems game api abc's. And C2 doesn't have one. I'm always one to say hey, do it your self. But there is just a point on the 101 level that it seems it should be in the engine.

Though again. I think Lunarray's LiteTween should be the candidate for official status... with some touch ups to fit in with the C2 style of use.

If I had to vote, I'd choose Litetween also, or request a similar functionality from a standard Ashley plugin

Can Litetween do all MoveTo jobs ?

They are not the same, Litetween gives the duration of moving , moveTo gives the speed of moving. User needs to transfer the speed & distance into duration.

I would like to vote the features which could not be made by 3rd, like import/export capx as a module.

MoveTo is more simple, but always works. LiteTween has more options, but sometimes gets glitchy and unreliable.

I use MoveTo a lot. I have made a little state machine with scripting for it.

rexrainbow any chance of adding "interupt" action to MoveTo plugin? THX!

Do you mean that pause/resume the moving by action?

I haven't used LiteTween but MoveTo is so simple it fits the paradigm of C2 perfectly. MoveTo would have my vote to be inducted into official status. In any case I never understood why something like this wasn't standard in C2 to begin with.

Do you mean that pause/resume the moving by action?

I would like to be able to cancel the previous movement coordinates. So lets say, I set move to X, Y, but in between I want to change those to another target. But as it is right now, the object will have to get to original target first before moving to the next. I would like to stop it, and move to new target even without it reaching original target.

Uh... no, it would not. It will move to the latest target set by action. And there has an action to stop the moving.

I guess the argument here is we have lerp, and it can be more customized.

Of course the argument to that is you might not want the "ease in".

If i have a bird following the player and set the the bird speed at 200 and then i want the speed to be 250.

How can i do this with lerp?

lerp(self.x,target.x,yourspeed*dt)

lerp(self.y,target.y,yourspeed*dt)

Target, as well as yourspeed can be a variable.
