How do I move objects for a cut-scene?

Hello C2 community!

Here with a dilemma and hoping I can get some help:

I'm working on the cut-scene for my game and I need a certain object to "scroll" upwards or vertically... Think of a sunrise in the early morning, that's exactly what I want to execute in my game... I'm using the 8 Direction behavior on said object, but the results haven't faired well so far... I have a pic of what I got code-wise:

I'm not sure if 8 Dir is needed to achieve what I want to do... If anyone can point me in the direction of a tutorial or have the answer themselves, I'd appreciate the help...

Would it not be easier to just apply the bullet behaviour to the object you want to scroll?

Set bullet angle of motion to 270 & bullet speed to whatever you need and it will scroll vertically upwards..

I tried the bullet behavior on a previous screen and finally got it to function. I haven't thought of your way of using it... It's worth a try.

Ok thank you for the assist there, but I have another problem with the bullet behavior... How can I get my object to "stop moving" once It's reached my desired position for it? Again thank you for your help...

Create a new invisible sprite where you want your object to stop. Then add new event on collision to your object then select the invisible sprite. Then add action object > bullet > set enabled construct will popup if you want to set it enabled or disabled, select disabled then click ok and it's done.

That's a good idea and thank you for contributing... I think I figured it out though: If I use the System wait action, then add Bullet disabled, it will stop the object from moving any further... Exactly what I wanted!!! I can see your method working in this instance as well...

Again thank you for the help!

You're welcome.

Another way of achieving what you want is to stop bullet movement when the Y co-ordinate is below a set amount like in the pic.
