  The Move behavior allows for any degree from 0 to 360. So yes, you can specify movement in 90° amounts.

  Since you mentioned cos and sin, I'm guessing you want automatic movement "around the rectangle." You could do this with a few Timers, I suspect.

  How can you make an actor move in a circle using sin and cosine? I am just curious.

  One way to do this would be to use waypoints, I've attached a quick demo. I also have a more detailed tutorial on the concept if you want to check it out:

  @tatiang @jamie_c

  This is very useful advice and tutorial video.
  Thanks for your kindly help, I really appreciate it.

  @Twayne2

  you can constrain self.position.x to A * cos(self.time*B )+C
  and constrain self.position.y to A * sin(self.time*B )+C
