Click Movement

[JGooler]

Ok first I would like to say thins is my first post.

This maybe a question that is way beyond me right now, but here we go.

Can you have your player move with a mouse click or such, like a RTS game? Is it easy to do?

Any help would be great, i have searched the forums and can't seem to find what i'm looking for but I may have over looked it.

Thank

You only need one event:
User clicks- Set X position of player to XMouse, Set Y position of player to YMouse.

Thanks.

I got that but I was looking for a point and click then the player would walk that direction. The way above makes you jump.
(maybe i'm doing something wrong)

You could have an invisible active object and when the mouse is clicked, set it's position to the x and y coordinates of the mouse:
*Left Mouse Clicked
= Set X position of Invisible object to XMouse
= Set Y position of invisible object to YMouse

Then have your player objects movement as Bouncing Ball and have a condition for it:
*Always
= Direction - Look in the Direction of - then in the Dialog box click relative to button, select the invisible object, then set the x and y boxes to 0

Instead of the Always condition, you could use Player Active is overlapping Invisible Active, and add a movement stop action as this would stop it juddering about when they meet, but you'd also need a start action for when they aren't overlapping

There are more ways to do it but that's probably one of the easiest

I'll give that a try thanks.

Also, you could use the move by bezier object using linear movement. It does this quite well (plus it's really easy).

if you are wanting an RTS movement I suggest you look at the advanced pathfinding object. It allows path movement which is perfect for most RTS games. Same as you see in classic games sucha C&C and AOE etc
