  • All the help, tutorials, examples i've seen deal with moving to mouse, or object, or something else that requires multiple events and/or actions.

    All i need is to move a sprite from:

    X 480, Y 270 to X 480, Y 80 in 1.5 seconds and stop.

    I've tried 8 direction, bullet and other actions that will make it snap to that posititon or toward that position but then it keeps going.

    Thanks for any help on this.

  • LiteTween is an extremely versatile plugin. It can do this easily.

  • Something like

    Set Player Y to Player.Y+sin(Player.Angle)*distance in pixels/seconds

    Now I'm not sure about the seconds part

    I might completely off as well.

  • You can use the timer behavior, or set up your own timer/counter variable.

    Instance Variables:

    Duration=1.5

    IsMoving=false

    (On Trigger, Object IsMoving=false)

    Start timer for Self.Duration seconds

    Set Object.IsMoving=true

    (Object IsMoving=true)

    Set Object Y position to lerp(270, 80, Self.Timer.CurrentTime/Self.Duration)

    (Object OnTimer)

    Set Object.IsMoving=false

    Set Object Y position to 80

    This does take 3 events though. Recommend also having start position and end position as instance variables, which you set upon triggering the first event
