AS: move to clicked position

[reelbigcheese]

AS: main

*note* any lines of code with // or /* at the beggining are just comments and do not affect the code, you can deleate these lines if you wish.

this is just a really easy way to make somthing move to the mouse when you click, right, so first make a movie clip (just a circle will do for now) this will be the main character, and add these actions (f9)

onClipEvent(enterFrame){
/* does the following actions at your movies framerate per second*/
if(this._x>_root.point._x){
_x-=5}
/* if_x posision of this MC is greater than the_x position of point,move left*/
if(this._x<_root.point._x){
_x+=5}
// same principles for the rest of the code
if(this._y>_root.point._y){
_y-=5}
if(this._y<_root.point._y){
_y+=5}}

now your wondering what point is, well its the point that the MC goes to when you click so create another movie clip (a smaller circle) give it the instace name of point and give it these actions

onClipEvent(mouseDown){
// everytime the mouse is pressed do the following actions
this._x=_root._xmouse;
// goto the x poision of the mouse
this._y=_root._ymouse}
// goto the y position of the mouse

now test your movie i dare you XD . you should have somthing like
this

yu should have use trig functions. im sorry i just dont like how he only moves in angles of 45 degrees

yeah, but i was just trying to make it easy for begginers

can u show an example of what it does?

he did, check the bottom of the tut

[reelbigcheese]

if you want the character to "face" the way hes walking add this code to the movie clip

onClipEvent(enterFrame) {
_rotation=Math.atan2(_y-_root.point._y,_x-
_root.point._x)*57.3;
}

[Vengeance]

onClipEvent(enterFrame) {
_rotation=Math.atan2(_y-_root.point._y,_x-
_root.point._x)*57.3;
}

no no no no no
_rotation=180*Math.atan2(_root.point._y-th
is._y,_root.point._x-this._x)/Math.PI

probly same thing

he just converted it from radians to degrees and it does so the same thing.

firstly... a AS topic has to teach you the code not just post it and go YAY code! thats foss main..

and secondly
its a crap script anyway

i did explain the code

make a better one then and shame me ^^

nearly everybody who has a topic in AS: Main made a better one...

lol, i wish everyone would stop trying to argue with me , i could have made it better with trig and stuff, but i was aiming this at beggingers so i tried to make it as simple as possible.

if you can make a better one then do it now.

Untested because Flash, and several other programs, refuse to open for some damn reason. It's driving me crazy, I've looked all over the internet for an explanation / solution, but I just can't find one.
