How do I Add and Subtract the X and Y Coordinates

Two objects, their origins in the middle.

To put Block1 on top of block2, I tried to to add their halves and subtract it from block2's Y.

Block2.Y - (Block2.Height /2) + (Block1.Height/2)

This subtracts Block2's height instead of its Y position.

Hi Blamitall,

If I understand correctly, I think you might want the following:

Set Block1.Y to:

Block2.Y - ( (Block2.Height /2) + (Block1.Height/2) )

This adds the radius of B1 and B2, and then subtracts that whole value from the B2.Y.

Place & move method

Another handy approach in this kind of situation might be, to use two actions:

1. B1: "Set position to another object", use B2 as the target object.

2. B1: "Move at angle" a distance of ( ( B1.h / 2 ) + ( B2.h / 2 ) ), at angle -90.

This approach separates out the relative offset, which can help make the code a little easier to understand/edit at a glance.

It's not quite as efficient as setting the cords directly, but the slight difference in efficiency will likely only be noticeable if you do it 10,000 times a tick.

So this method isn't strictly better or worse, it just has different pros and cons.

AWESOME! You solved my problem,Thanks!

I also noticed I had events I didn't need, which stopped it from working. Amazing what taking a break will do for the mind.

Glad it worked out. :)

And oh, man, I know what you mean about taking a break, coming back, and beholding the madness of yesterday's 4am attempts at productivity. :]
