How do I show path of moving object? [Animation included]

Hello guys,

I am working on something using path finding. I want to ask if any one has an idea about drawing this kind path lines:

How do i forum runs like crazy. To top please.

Run the path finding, store the point locations and then add a sprite to the locations where you want a dot. Then connect the dot sprites with a line as you go?

Looks like he wants the points before doing the pathfinding though? The pathfinding demo already draws sprites at the node locations, maybe do some spline curve magic between those points. It will approximate the path that will be taken, but I don't think you can ever know the exact path that will be taken.

I couldn't manage to do as you guys told. May be i am missing something. I will give another try to make it happen. Otherwise i will take that part from game and give a sample .capx file.

I will let you guys know .

Hi Onur,

did you find a solution, yet? I'm struggling with the same thing. I'm really annoyed by the limitations of C2, I've installed like 50 plugins and still miss a lot of capabilities.

Hey Zooid. This is an old thread.

As for showing the path, I decided to go for it and here's a crude solution I came up with:

Path is not exact and there's a little wait time involved.

Here's another one. Slightly more precise. Use 1 pathfinding and 1 bullet for a little more accuracy.

Thank you so much MPPlantOfficial, that's really helpful.

Here's another one using the bullet example. Pathfinding is slighty faster and I fixed the lengths of the path trail.

You could probably make a better path trail using the canvas plugin but here's how I'd do it using normal sprites.

Hey, sorry for the late answer, thanks for the tips, but I found C2 so incredibly restricted as a whole. I decided to go back to Unity and just spend more time on it.

Final Verdict: Construct 2 is nothing more than a playground. If you are to create a good game with it, what would make the game sellable would be not the Construct 2 but the 1000 plugins you'll need in order to implement basic functionalities.
