How do I smooth this movement?

Hey everyone,

Apologies if this has been explained elsewhere. I have a sprite that moves from left to right when an object is clicked with the mouse. I've got that working perfectly, using the custom movement behaviour.

And that looks like this: https://twitter.com/i/status/1135289518083514371

What I want to add is a smooth motion to the sprite (acceleration and deceleration). I think I'm on the right track using lerp, but just can't work it out!

Ah, cool. Thank you so much for that.

Is there any way to do it without using a plug-in. I figure it'd be good to learn!

without a plugin, Lerp might be the best option - but like you found out, it can be tricky to get what you want. You could also try bullet behavior - that allows acceleration/deacceleration.

otherwise, litetween is how I would do it.

if you ever move up to C3, it has a native tween feature...

ah, sure. It was more out of interest really. I used that plugin recommended above and it works a treat. (Thanks dop2000.

I haven't done my research into moving to C3 yet. I should though!
