Simple problem

#1 Try using the moveTo function, you can look it up in the TGB reference docs (you can get there by clicking Help -> Documentation in TGB then clicking Reference->TGB Reference)>

#2 A question... let me know if I'm understanding what you mean by a "break" command... do you mean a command that stop the script logic until the object has moved down 5 units, then move 20 in the x (zeroing out the Y).

#3 One way to do this would be to use a combination of schedules, moveTo and onPositionTarget commands. I'm not sure how else you can do it. There's no animation timeline in TGB like you see in Flash or other programs, so it's hard to create more complex movements. You'll have to do it with clever scripting.

#4 Matt was spot on saying

do you mean a command that stop the script logic until the object has moved down 5 units

just looking at the refrence guide and finding it hard to read, anyone got an example?

#5 The script as it is will just take those commands as fast as it can, which will clearly change the state of your object quicker than you'd intended.

In this case, you might just want to have a list of coordinates that you'd like them to visit and then have it moveTo() each of those in sequence. When they reach that point, onPositionTarget() is called, which should then send them to the next point. When

#6 Could i not use paths to do this?

#7 Ok just found a refrence to position and move to

setPositionTarget(%targetX, %targetY, [%autoStop = true], [%callback =
false], [%snap = true], [%margin = 0.1])
Purpose
Sets a target position for the object.
Syntax
%targetX - Float
The x position of the target.
%targetY - Float
The y position of the target.
%autoStop - Bool
Whether or not the object should stop upon reaching the target.
%callback - Bool
Whether or not to execute the onPositionTarget() callback when the target is reached.
%snap - Bool
Whether or not to snap the object to the target position when it is within the margin.
%margin - Float
The proximity to the target necessary to qualify as reaching the target.
Notes
* This function does not actually move the object. Instead, it allows an object to be stopped
or execute a callback upon reaching a destination position. To have an object
automatically move to a target position, use moveTo().



moveTo(%targetX, %targetY, %speed, [%autoStop = true], [%callback =
false], [%snap = true], [%margin = 0.1])
Purpose
Sets a target position for the object and moves it toward that target.
Syntax
%targetX - Float
The x position of the target.
%targetY - Float
The y position of the target.
%speed - Float
The speed at which the object is sent to the target.
%autoStop - Bool
Whether or not the object should stop upon reaching the target.
%callback - Bool
Whether or not to execute the onPositionTarget() callback when the target is reached.
%snap - Bool
Whether or not to snap the object to the target position when it is within the margin.
%margin - Float
The proximity to the target necessary to qualify as reaching the target.
Notes
* The object is not actually forced to the target position, it is merely sent there. So, if a
collision or some other outside force interferes with the object, it may not make it to the
target position. However, the target is still set, so the object may still reach the target in the


does that mean to i work out the cordinates i'm a bit confused? or do i set a dynamic field to store say the 4 points i want it to move to

moveTo(%targetX, %targetY, [%autoStop = true],
{
cordinates 47,43
}

somthing like that

#8 Function si::onLevelLoaded(%this)
{
$node=0;

%this.setPositionTarget(48,-30, true, true);
%this.setLinearVelocityX(15);
$node++;
}

//goes along 15

function si::onPositionTarget(%this)
{

if ($node==1)
{
%this.setPositionTarget(48,-28, true, true);
echo ("reached call2");
%this.setLinearVelocityX(0);
%this.setLinearVelocityY(2);
$node++;
}


else if ($node==2)
{
echo ("reached call3");
%this.setPositionTarget(48,-26, true, true);
%this.setLinearVelocityX(-15);
%this.setLinearVelocityY(0);
$node++;
}


else if ($node==3)
{
%this.setPositionTarget(-46,-24, true, true);
echo ("reached call4");
%this.setLinearVelocityX(0);
%this.setLinearVelocityY(2);
$node++;
}

else if ($node==4)
{
echo ("reached call5");
%this.setPositionTarget(-46,-26, true, true);
%this.setLinearVelocityX(15);
%this.setLinearVelocityY(0);
$node++;
}

}

ok i got it to move however node 3 and 4 wont call any ideas

#9 Bump plz
