Click increment based movement.

Hello. I'm trying to get the user to click and a player object moves towards the mouse at first, but then slows to a stop. I do not want the user to be able to hold down the mouse. The player should only move on a click, and not a click-hold. How can I not allow the hold? Thanks very much, I am not a programmer

ok that did it thank you! I had to select rather than type in.

Yep, you have to select attributes, but the rest you can type in by hand, for example 'vectorToAngle' can be typed in (or selected from the pulldown if you want), but attributes can only be selected from the pulldown.

Open the Physics attributes and change Drag to 200

Rule - When mouse button is down
--Change Velocity - Direction vectorToAngle( mouse x - self X , Mouse - self X)

Or . . . .

Open the Physics attributes and change Drag to 200

Rule - When mouse button is down
--Rule - When mouse button is UP
----Change Velocity - Direction vectorToAngle( mouse x - self X , Mouse - self X)

Thanks for replying, but are you typing in "self" or the player object name (in my case "player"? Either way, I still can't get it to move. But here are my settings.

'Self X' refers to the actor's X position.
'Self Y' refers to the actor's Y position.
'mouse X' refers to the mouse's X position.
'mouse Y' refers to the mouse's Y position.

Select these attributes with the pull down menu rather than typing them in.

ok that did it thank you! I had to select rather than type in. What it ended up being for me was:
vectorToAngle(game.Mouse.position.x-self.position.x,game.Mouse.position.y-self.position.y)
