[How?] Make a sprite follow the player

Hi guys, I'm new at the Scirra community. Pleased to meet you!

I want to make a sprite follow the player.

When the player's sprite touches the other sprite, the latter starts following it's movements.

I tried to do the following:

Created an instance variable boolean called "caught"

And then:

<img src="http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a126/shinobi_br/followfail.jpg" border="0" />

But it doesn't work. the "ovo" sprite starts walking without the player sprite touching it. ;/

I'd like to ask for your help.

Thanks in advance!

This maybe help

Come on people ! Use Lerp !

Sprite : Set Position to : (lerp(Sprite.X ,Player.X ,2*dt),lerp(Sprite.Y ,Player.Y ,2*dt))

what is lerp? how do we use lerp?

In the how do I FAQ you you can find several detailled explanations of lerp (the system expression) as well as an example of a companion that follows a sprite.

Thanks guys, I will take a look at that thread and the game example!
