Move To Behavior problem

ColorplayGames

Hi all,
I'm finding some very strange things with the Move To behavior. I have an actor that, on overlap with the player, has the following move to behavior:
Position X: 0, Position Y: -12.5, relative to actor, speed 300, run to completion

Sometimes, seemingly randomly, the actor will not stop moving. Instead of just moving down by -12.5 it will just keep moving in a downwards direction. Is this a bug? I can't consistently reproduce it because the issue only shows up maybe one out of five times that I run it.

Thanks,
Jenna

Yes the move to behavior can be a little buggy. Try using interpolate for your movement.

i tot 'move to' means actor moves to defined x & y location?
if you use 'move' with just x or y value then it only moves the length defined on the x or y.

so if you set the rule move to (0,-12.5) , means the actor is trying to move out of the scene.

@george - the Move To behavior allows you to move the actor relative to itself - that's what the drop-down next to "Relative to:" lets you pick. So when I have -12.5 for the Y coordinate it just means that my actor is moving -12.5 down from it's original position.

@ten - I was thinking about Interpolate but it doesn't let you move relative to the actor, which is really what I need for this particular situation. Is there any way to get interpolate to be relative to the actor? Or any other movement behaviors that might work better?

Thanks again,
Jenna

you could use interpolate then rotate the actor to the position facing where its moving to so it will give u that illusion, that migth work.

Like tendrmer said move to is buggy, whenever ive needed to more realtvie to a actor ive always use accerlate anyway
