Yeah, MoveTo is really nice for simple things, and I love the avoid feature, but is generally unusable in more complex games. Apalia originally used MoveTo, but due to the teleportation glitches was replaced by my own moveto functions.

Sure, here is a quick version of it. The code was quite specialized to the ai system I used in apalia, so this is a slightly broader version, but allows the user to overcome some of MoveTo's bugs. Pretty simple, uses activation events for MoveFinish, but I didn't add precise movement (again due to how I was using it in apalia), but it is accurate to one frame's distance.

I didn't make it do that, but it'd be pretty easy. The thing is you'd have to use strcmp in the function as getclone does not support "Event Actor", and the other const strings. You'd add something like this to the beginning.
Code: Select all
if(strcmp("Event Actor, relativeTo)==0)
{
    relActor=getclone(clonename);
}
else if(strcmp("Parent Actor", relativeTo)==0)
{ // should have a check to see if parent exists
    relActor=&parent;
}
// etc...


That way the Actor* for relActor can use "Event Actor", and the others.
