HELP: How to make an object to follow mouse with distance :?

[bat78]

Hello guys,
I was wondering ..can one actor follow mouse with distance between them ?
First think that i take on mind was: "xmouse=player.x-10;" it is with decent syntax but it doesen't work. Ideas ?

EDIT:

If you want it to be perfect, use this:

x = view.x+xmouse;

with distance


x = view.x+xmouse+10;

[bat78]

It won't take effect..the view need to be another positioned..

[bat78]

And with: "x = view.x+xmouse+10; y = view.y+ymouse+10;"
That can't work with distance..x is assigned to view.x but view need to have movement x + mouse movement x.
It is absolute wrong.

The view is in a random position, Offset of 100:

Edit: I had the code in the mouse following actor btw,

Is this what you wanted? If not, lemme know.

Just an explanation, if the actor is assigned to xmouse only, and say, your xmouse is 30, the actor will stay on 30, and will leave the screen. By adding view.x, you make the actor stick to the view first, and then stick to the mouse. (with offset)

hmm

i see but that don't work on me cause if i possition and with "y"
the actor stay on horizontal distance
I want to make x&y to stay an actor on xscreen&yscreen 50:50
but if i just put ur code with x&y the actor follow mouse on down/right side.

You just copy the code for the vertical distance then?

Is your actor parented to another actor? I don't see why this won't work.

It work but..see The actor's position is horizontal from the mouse.
I want the position to be "next to the mouse" like my picture (:

[bat78]

Yes that is "Mouse3.ged" i need to take a look
EDIT: Yes i didn't see the last thanks. Your idea looks greate.

[Jagmaster]

Edit: lawl, I forgot to delete the comments on the second line, sorry.

I love using this method for shooters:

Code: Select all

angle=direction(xscreen, yscreen, xmouse, ymouse);
directional_velocity=distance(xscreen, yscreen, xmouse, ymouse)/6;


its awesome =)
