How do I tile based movement with mouse

Trying to set up a tile based movement, with click to move, able to move a set amount of tiles based on a variable, walking around obstacles, with the character centered in the tiles.

I'd explain what I've tried but I don't want to over complicate what I'm looking for.

When I get enough reputation I'll upload what I have.

If I understand, you would like to move to a position once clicked and based on grid/tile movement?

To move to a position within a given range yes.

Like moving a king on a chess board but able to move further.

Something like this?

Just click on download on top of the page. I did a very simple capx file

Thanks for the post back, now we have a base to go off of, I can try and play around with what you have and may or may not be able to move forward. If I can get it closer without resolve I'll link the Capx file I think I have enough reputation to add files now.

With this I'm wanting the square to move towards where the mouse button is pressed, and avoid obstacles like walls to get there.

Maybe I can make this a little more simple and figure the stuff out that I know on my own, sorry for the confusion.

I'm wanting to use pathfinding on a player but center them on a grid. Possibly center them on the squares they walk through as well.

I've made some progress with the movement, this is "BASICALLY" what I'm looking for. Two problems I'm currently having are in order to make it center to the tile I'm having to set the X and Y location to the tile when it gets close. This makes the character "jump" or "teleport" I'm trying to make it a little more smooth moving.

Also while the player is moving he seems to make unnecessary wide turns. I'm going to turn this into an actual player character I feel like its more like a boomerang.

This is a really old post, but did you find a solution for the problems? Xore
