Move to point

[hooligan2001]

I posted this in the pyhsics forum but ill post it here to

How do i move a mc to a specific point from any ponit on the stage.

That i want to for the mc to move at the same speed to the destination ?

i know how to make it ease in but thats not what i want. What i want is to move at a steady speed.

FOR EASING: i used this

targetx = 0;
targety = 400;

_x += (targetx - _x)/speed;
_y += (targety - _y)/speed;

That eases into the position. What i want is to move at say a speed of 5.

Maybe:

if (targetx<_x){
_x-=speed;
}
if (targetx>_x){
_x+=speed;
}

and same for y coord.

Thanks Tonypa, Im going to stick to the easing because in the long run it looks smoother but thanks heaps

why not use both?

for couldron i used something like

var VelX = (targetx - _x)/speed;
var VelY = (targety - _y)/speed;

_x += (VelX > MaxVel) ? MaxVel : VelX;
_y += (VelY > MaxVel) ? MaxVel : VelY; 

so if you set a MaxVel of 5 it would move at a max speed of 5 and when it comes closer to the target it will slow down.

Nice! I'm gonna hang out in these threads!
