Can I make smooth animation ?

Hi.

At this moment, I'm moving my character using the simple way

player.X = player.X + 64 ( :v ) so, the player jumps instandly to the next position

I want to know if it is possible to make that movement smooth, like a transition (?)

I read about lerp, but I don't know if I can use it in this case or if there is a different way to make it.

Thanks you all.

Yes you can use lerp also.

lerp works kind of like this.

lerp(sprite.startposition, sprite.endposition, 0.1)

0.1 is 10% of the distance per tick.

You can also try a plugin called liteTween you can find it here on the forums. It can do similar a thing but with much more nice acceleration and smooth movement. Highly recommended, as lerp is only linear.

Thanks for responding tunepunk

The problem is:

It is a loop who moves the character, like this

so, if it is 1 - move the player right, if it's 2 - move the player left and the same for up and down

that's why I need to use a "wait" there, in the loop.

I used lerp, following what you said but the character barely moves.

I don't know what to do, even if it is possible into a loop

Why would you do this in a loop ?

Are you aware that the events already run in a 'big' loop ?

I know, I know

But I need the real player selects his movements first i.e

The player wants to go right, right, down and right, so he will select those movements from a list and when he finishes, presses play and the character Will move according those selected movements?

I had to do that because someone else needs it that way

I'm not really sure what you are trying to do with the looping, but maybe it's better if you just set a variable in the loop, and do the ectuap movement outside the loop when that variable is set.

Ah ok. One of the many ways.

Using the MoveTo plugin, behavior-moveto_t63156

I was a bit done with all the lerping 2day.

As you see. You can not lock the interactivity of the player up in a loop. And you can not lock this moving (that takes time) up in a loop. A loop happens in the same tick. This movement happens over several ticks.

Normally i wouldo this with instances of the same sprite for the player, but i feel that you learn more of it (for now) if i use two different sprites.

Have fun coding.
