Jump to specific position (using platform behavior)

How can I get an object using the platform behavior to jump to a specific position? i.e. an enemy jumps from right side of the screen to the left or jumps from the right or left side to the middle.

There's a parabola example around here somewhere that can do this well, but I just wanted to see if it can be done with the platform behavior and minimal variables because I'll be using it often and with a number of different objects.

I guess you would have to use some math to calculate the vectorX and vectorY of the platform behaviour..

Well yeah.

To get the launch speed you can do the following. Be sure to set deceleration to 0.

Vector x = (x1-x0)/t

Vector y = (y1-y0)/t-0.5*gravity*t

X1,y1 is the destination

X0, y0 is the start

Gravity is whatever the behavior's Gravity is

T is how long you want the jump to take in seconds.

Overall the math should be the same as in that example you're referring to. The actual path will vary a bit due to the variable delta time but it should be pretty consistent.

Great, —

I had a similar problem. ^^

Thanks man I'll try it out soon
