Easing between a set number of locations

Hi there,

I'm doing a simple project that allows me to fight things falling down. http://part12studios.com/temp/Games/BoxNinja1/

the thing is that I want the 5 fixed positions to be something that "tweens". I have used tweenlite before but i'm not sure that's really the best way to do this. Feels a bit heavy handed for what seems like a relatively simple request to move between positions 1 2 3 4 and 5. The keyboard is what moves it.. but the move should still be very snappy but my current events do flat +130 and -130 pixels per move left or right till they hit the far left or right ranges.

I thought lerp would be appropriate, but it's not working well for me. So it's either the wrong approach or i'm doing it wrong.

Thanks!

Caleb

You could try the moveto behaviour plugin or the litetween like you said..

These are probably the easiest methods..

Okay good to know I will try that out and see how it goes thanks for the confirmation

You can always lerp the positions. Use an variable to store the target x position for the box (lets say "goToX") and when you press the left/right arrow keys subtract/add to this variable the 130 pix offset (you'll need to find a way to limit me minimum/maximum x position). Then, add an event that does the following:

every tick-----> Box | set X position to lerp(self.X, goToX, t)

where t is a number between 0 and 1. The closest to 1, the "snappiest" it will get.

— Here's an example using the moveto plugin
