How to move actor like in GRID

Jaxter

I need with two buttons move actor ( with animation between start and end position) to left and right for example 100pix, like in chess game, how can i do it ?

here is example: http://idea-lab.lv/citi/example.jpg

This can be achieved with a maths function
I think you need to constrain X, Y of the object to this

floor (( self.Position.X/Y + 50 ) / 100 ) * 100

Photics

I did something similar with the Photics: Toolbox.

The tally counter uses interpolate for movement.

constraining can be rough on your fps, i'd try and use interpolate as Photics has said

hm i just need move box +100 - 100 on stage left and right

You could do that with rules

If position.x between 0 and 150
change positino.x to 100

If position.x between 150 and 250
change positino.x to 200

If position.x between 250 and 350
change positino.x to 300

i think it is not my solution, are any template anywhere

I need to move it when each time i touch button it just moving to side for 100pix , and the same back to left side

Not saying it's a better method, but my snake demo uses SPAWN to "move" the actor around. Instead of moving, you just spawn a new version of the actor 100px away from the original actor and then destroy the original.

I can't get to the game link right now, but do a search for "move by spawn" in the shared projects section in GS.
