How do I Create a Grid-Based Movement System?

Hi all,

I want my character sprite to move step-by-step, from grid-block to grid-block, not instantaneously, but as a smooth transition showing that directions' 'run' animation.

I also want my character to obey the 'solid' object behavior, in that if there is an object with the 'solid' behavior, then the character will not move there.

Any tips on how to do this?

Thanks!

You can check my example for more detail:

Hey there,

here are some good examples. I found them some time ago, as I had some problems with grid based movement, too.

You can also take a look at the new C3 template "Eat 'em all".

Thank you for all the suggestions guys! I tried everything you recommended.

Sanchopi's examples ended up working best for my game! It is now working without any problems. I will attach screenshots in order to help future peeps:
