'Move to' on x axis

[Hedfone]

hey y'all.
How can I make an actor 'move to' a destiantion on a mouse click, but ONLY on the x axis?

I'm not sure if I fully understand what you want, but try:

draw actor-> follow mouse -> and choose x only

thnx tekdino, but that's not what I mean . I want, on left click, my actor moves towards the mouse at a velocity of about 3. but he only moves on the x axis. the 'move to' command only works on the x and y axis. anyone know how 2 do this?

[Game A Gogo]

1. create a filled region
2. add an event mouse button down:
3. select script actor
4. create a variable whit 2 arrays
5. enter this code:

Code: Select all

MouseR[0]=xmouse;
MouseR[1]=ymouse;

6. add a move to action on mouse buttion down
7. make sure you enter teh variable in the x and y feilds.

Try this:

1) Create a Filled Region actor to act like a sensor
2) Create a player actor
3) In the sensor, on a 'Mouse Button Down' add a 'Move To' action with the values:

Actor: player
Relative to: Mouse Position
Avoid: (none)
Position: 0, 0
Velocity: 5

4) Now, to keep the player in the x axis, on a 'Draw Actor' event, put the action:

Code: Select all

y = 0; //Or other value

5) To a void a little flash, on a ' Move Finish' event, repeat the script above.

Avoid in 'Move to' !!!!!!
WOW!! I really would like to try the new GE!
It's pity that my folks accepted only one and I don't have VISA or Mastercard.

sweetness mak! that works PERFECTLY
2 more things ( sry ) :


1. is there a way that I can have this type of movement AND gravity?

2. I need to make it so that if my player senses that he's moving rightward then he changes animation and the same with leftward. I've tried on DrawActor

Code: Select all

if (xvelocity=+2);
ChangeAnimation to right

but that didn't work. any suggestions?

Try:

Code: Select all

if (xvelocity > 0)
{
    //Right animation
}
