How do I make move to position?

How easily can I make similar behavior like plugin Rex´MoveTo? I want to move object to coordinates and when arrived then stop.

Using C3 runtime, thanks a lot.

The latest Beta has Tween support: editor.construct.net/r123-2

Add the behaviour and then "Tween two properties" to the new location.

Please can you show me some example? I am not adapt to new behavior. Thank you very much :)

I keep saying that MoveTo is not the same as tweening, but Ashely won't listen.. These two behaviors look similar, but serve different purposes.

With tween you can't make an object to accelerate to max speed, move at constant speed for some time and then decelerate to zero and stop. Yes, you can use one of the "In-Out" functions or linear, but this will not be same.

MoveTo can change direction and continue moving at the same speed to a new position. Tween can't do this.

Tween can't be stopped by solids.

With MoveTo you don't have to care about the time - you tell the sprite to move to a position and that's it, it will arrive when it will arrive. With tweening you need to calculate the duration, which depends on the distance, approximate speed and chosen function.

The list goes on...

And is there any way to make it working like MoveTo? In C3 runtime I cannot use the Rex´s MoveTo am I right? I need it in my project, thanks for any advice.

Also I need to make similar thing like Rex´s RotateTo in C3 runtime (rotation with following angle of actual touch position with some speed and acceleration).

I tried simply (it is without acceleration):

every tick -> rotate 600*dt degrees toward (Touch.X, touch.Y)

and this causes massive FPS drop on mobile (down to approx 25 FPS, only this event), how is it possible? How can I recreate in different way RotateTo ? Thank you.

I tried this on a very old Android phone and I'm getting 60 pfs and 10-20% cpu utilization. So there must be something wrong with your project.

Ubru, I'd first try rotating, and moving, every 0.1 seconds instead of every tick.

What would the differences between moveto and bullet be (I haven't used moveto)? Sounds the main addition would be setting a target destination and rounding/truncating the last step for precise movement. Maybe adding this functionality to the bullet behavior would be good?

I also tried only spawning that object with one frame and overlay effect alone, and after spawning more objects (7-8 and more) FPS is going down rapidly. So it seems that only overlay effect is draining too much FPS so what can I do if I need it multiple-times in my projects?

I got an idea :) create new layer and set overlay to it (so only 1 overlay effect at all) and move all object to this layer. It solved my problem.

Yeah, effects are slow on mobile. If you have lots of small sprites with effect, it's better to apply it to a layer.

oosyrag I guess it can be added to bullet.

MoveTo also has MaxSpeed setting, and different settings for acceleration and deceleration. So it's very easy to make natural looking movements - the object speeds up, moves at constant speed and then slows downs to stop. Making the same with bullet will require a lot of events...

Pathfinding comes close to this, but it has its own issues - you need to find the path first, and sometimes the object does not stop precisely where it should.
