Opposite to MoveTo

[Troodon]

Hi,
Is there any way to make opposite of MoveTo code?
I mean that instead of going towards an actor, the main actor goes in opposite direction. I'm working on a game where an actor should escape monsters itself.

great idea! but this should be possible using code ... but if easily or not - i dont know

[Game A Gogo]

use something like this:

Code: Select all

direction("ennemy.x"."ennemy.y","x","y");
directional_velocity=2;

something like that.
[/code]

Thanks, but with that code it says only:
illegal structure operation

Is there another code I could try?

Use this

Code: Select all

angle=direction(actor1.x, actor1.y, actor2.x, actor2.y); +180;
directional_velocity=4;

I tired it out and it works great.

BTW. remember to change the actor names and velocity to suit your game.

WOW!! Thanks! It works like a seal!
Now I only have to make that if the distance is smaller than something it escapes, but I think I can make it myself.
