You can change amount and speed of circles, length of lines and etc. Only 6 events.
  • The title explains it all.

  • It actually doesn't..

    What do you want to happen at the end of the half a circle?

    Should the sprite slowdown and speed up or just change direction while keeping speed?

    I guess a little fooling around with the sine behaviour could do the trick..

  • You could ofcourse also just program it yourself by setting the sprite to the center of the circle and adding a certain number to the angle and moving the sprite the radius of the circle every tick..

    I want the sprite to turn when it has moved a half circle and move a half circle to the other direction. If you don't know what i mean whit a half circle imagine a rainbows shape. I know that i am probably going to use the Sine behavior i just want to know which offsetts i should use. I know how to make sprite move in a full circle but not in a half circle. Again i want the sprite to move left and rigth in a half circle.

    Did you download the capx I linked?

    Doing it with sine behaviour you would need a horizontal and a vertical one

    make the vertical one half the period of the horizontal and have it start at 1/4 of the period

    make the horizontal a little more than twice the magnitude of the vertical and you're done..

    You could have fiddled with the numbers yourself, offcourse..
