Actor keeps shaking around whit touch

if.edou

I have an actor that moves towards the position of a touch, but when the actor arrives the x,y of the touch, it starts shaking around the position, how can i fix that? (when i keep the finger on the screen).

How are you moving the actor to the finger? And perhaps more importantly, how are you stopping the chase behaviour and leaving the actor just constrained? If you have the actor constantly chasing the finger with something like an 'interpolate to', it may well override the 'constrain to' and cause the jiggling about. So I would have a fairly snappy accelerate towards based on the actor being at least a certain distance away from the touch, then once close in, lock to the constrain.

hope that helps.
