Trace of an object?

Here is a capx I made. I want the moons path to be traced by a white line but I don't want the line to disappear.

For this, I create a sprite in the moon's position every tick. However, this method is unreliable because it creats too many objects, slowing the game.

Can you suggest a better way to do this?

And I don't know why the texts of the text boxes are not changed at the start.

hello there i cant help you out but for the textbox. you must use something like this:

E_xdistance.Text

E_xspeed.Text

E_ydistance.Text

add .Text

It's not like that. Please see the attached capx.

You could use the Paster plugin so the object count doesn't increase.

Also it appears you need to use str(E_xdistance) when setting the text instead of E_xdistance. Would be a good topic for a bug report.

I think your solution is fine, maybe you could delete overlaping objects or check if count is bigger than a certain amount(max objects), about the text, jus add str() to them, as they are numbers and need to be converted to strings

Another idea if you don't want to use a plugin.

Add a Global called trailoverlap then set it to 1 when trail overlaps itself.

Reduce the trail generation time, i.e. only create a trail every 0.1 seconds and only when Global trailoverlap = 0.
