I need a faster path movement

[aidmm]

hello. I've got a 1024x768 screen. I want to move an active across the screen very quickly... like, in half a second or so. The max speed of 100 for the path movement isn't fast enough. What are some suggestions to make this happen?

thanks!

You could either use the Move-It object or figure it out manually and use events - it should be something like:
X = 1.0 * X1 + ( ( X2 - X1 ) * step / distance )
Y = 1.0 * Y1 + ( ( Y2 - Y1 ) * step / distance )
Distance = Sqr( ( X1 - X2 ) pow 2 ) + ( ( Y1 - Y2 ) pow 2 ) )
Step += Speed

right now I think I'm doing something like that, but not using the Move It object. I'm saying:

Every 1/100th of a second, Set Position of Active to X Cord. of Active + 100...

do you think the Move It object might be smoother? I'll try it now..

thanks!
