Mouse-Click Movement

[StingRay]

Hi! I allready work on a type of adventure, where
the player should move the main character by clicking
with the mouse on the level. The level is 8 times big as the screen resolution and full of obstacles.

how would you solve this type of player-control?!

thanks!

What issues have you got? Maybe best to mention what problems you have, then we might be able to expand on those. Somethings that come to my mind quickly are:

1. User clicking on somewhere where the player cannot go.
2. Player automated movement (going from place a to place b)
3. Obstacles

I'm actually really at the start of this. I'm sure somebody out there has done a similar movement
and maybe could point me in the right direction or give an example. thanks again!

The Pathfinding object and the Advanced Pathfinding objct are good extensions to start with. Both come with examples.

Hi! Thanks for the replies!

Great would be the advanced path movement object. but it seems kind of buggy, and its hard to setup around 100 different points. (and make them editable later, if something changes)

the good thing about is, that there are fixed positions where the character would walk. there couldnt happen some strange walk-errors.

i just thought if there is a basic 'down to earth' solution, (maybe without a special extension).

thanks again!

I think you're using the wrong object

I have a couple of Point and Click examples on my website. These may be of help.

Hi! Now I've manually build a path
for the advanced path movement object.

the problem is, that it freezes the application
(I've around 100 nodes), then starts movement
and moves on without stopping at the node it should.
if i click again, it freezes again...

dont know if there's a workaround, if not, maybe you
could point me in the right direction how to setup
a mouse click movement. here is a part of the background
of the game:



thanks again for your help!

EDIT:
i gave the pathfinder obj a try. it was easy to setup, but the path it found isnt a natural 'walk' path, you know?!

maybe somebody could help and got a solution?!?!
