How can i move Sprites Like this?

It looks like the four sprites are moving in a diamond shape.

Add an instance variable to the sprite and call it “t”. Set each of the four instances to 0,1,2 and 3.

Then create another sprite called “node” and place four instances in a diamond shape.

Then in events you can do this:

Every tick:

— sprite: add dt to t

— sprite: set x to lerp(node(int(self.t)).x, node(int(self.t)+1).x, self.t-int(self.t))

— sprite: set y to lerp(node(int(self.t)).y, node(int(self.t)+1).y, self.t-int(self.t))

You can create a square sprite with 2 behaviors: rotate and sine (size).

Then set the position of circles to the 4 corners.

Bro, that's incredible!

Thanks for the info.

Yes They are moving in a diamond shape

I did same as you said but nothing worked.

Just tried the C3p file and works perfectly.

If you open his C3p check the instance variables.

I was talking about R0J0hound 's Suggestion.

It very well may not work since I haven’t tested it.

Thanks

Thank you so much el3um4s to make c3p file

and much much thanks to R0J0hound

He has always a solution for any kind of problem.

Thanks again.

Hi R0J0hound

can you please explain what is actually happening in this event. Actually This is working but I'm not getting what actually happening.

— sprite: set x to lerp(node(int(self.t)).x, node(int(self.t)+1).x, self.t-int(self.t))

— sprite: set y to lerp(node(int(self.t)).y, node(int(self.t)+1).y, self.t-int(self.t))

You can access specific objects by their iid in expressions like so:

Sprite(0).x gets the first sprite’s x

Sprite(1).x gets the x from the second sprite.

So say you have four instances you can access their x’s with

Sprite(0).x

Sprite(1).x

Sprite(2).x

Sprite(3).x

Not only that but the number wraps around so you can use 4 to access the first one again.

So what that expression is doing is it uses the variable t to specify a location between instances.

For example with a t of 1.33

It takes instance 1 and instance 2 and uses lerp to find the location a third of the way from instance 1 and 2.
