Move To in only 1 dimension

ShaunElery

I'm making a forced scrolling game. How can I make the actor Move To certin points in the Y dimention only, but keep moving horizontaly at a constant rate? The Move To behaviour wants something in the X field.

thank you

Move X to self.position X
Move Y to where you want move to in the Y dimension.

I have that and a Move right at speed of 300 and it only moves right. It does not obey the Move To behaviour. Should i use something else to make the Actor constantly move right?

ShaunElery

Or would it be best to make everything else move left, so it only appears to the player like the actor is moving right?

Socks

I have that . . . .

Have what ?

ShaunElery

Sorry. I have Move X to self.position X
Move Y to where you want move to in the Y dimension like you said. It works until I add the Move right behaviour.

You have 2 move behaviours being implemented at the same time - and you would like both to work, is that basically what you are after ?

I need my actor to move to the right at a constant rate no matter what his Y position is. But I also need to move to specific Y positions without interrupting the X movement.

I have a Move behavior for the horizontal motion and a Move To behavior so the actor will reach the specific Y points. But only one works at a time.

Can you take a screen shot of your code and post it here?

ShaunElery

I can’t screen shot because I’m at work.

But I found a way to do it. I created an invisible actor that pushes my hero to the right by collision. Then I used Move TO for the Y position on my character and it works.
