"Move To" Function - Actors "jumps" to position

Cluv

Hey!

I am using "Move To" to move my actors slowly across the screen. It works fine, except when the actor gets close to the destination. Whenever the actor gets within a short distance of the position, it "jumps" and locks into place instead of moving smoothly. I am concerned that this will affect the animation, when I skin the objects later. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to make it move more smoothly?

Thanks!

Use Interpolate instead.

yes, use interpolate, it's much more accurate.

you use two rules:

interpolate self.position.x to x coordinate
interpolate self.position.y to y coordinate

Cluv

@Braydon_SFX: If I use interpolate, doesn't it continue to move? Can I give interpolate a coordinate?

Cluv

@jonmulcahy, OH!!!! That makes total sense. That will smooth out their movement tremendously. Thanks!
