Grid movement but more..

Hi, I am trying to work on a simple puzzle game. What I want is grid movement

(all my blocks are 32x32) but I want it so if you press right, you move right but

in steps of 32 until you hit a wall and then the movement ends. (same for the

other 3 directions)

So you press down and the player starts moving down in 32 pixel steps until it hits

a wall.

How can I do movement like this?

I can use gridmovement to move in 32px steps but the continuous thing until hitting

a wall. Not sure how to do it.

If you make a wall so a sprite with the Solid behaviour then the grid movement should stop or not be able to move to the next space.

GridMovement may not be the best choice here, because it stops after every cell.

I would probably choose MoveTo behavior. Use raycasting of LineOfSight behavior to detect the nearest wall in that direction, then move to it.

Thank you.

Hello guys ! For my first try as a super newbie I am trying to work on something similar here, a very simple puzzle game where to you slide from one side to another until hitting something solid.

I had been using a grid (preloaded bomberman to get a feel for it) but i can't figure out the movement part, should I not use the grid system in this instance ?

You can use my example: dropbox.com/s/p2p9h1b2ite63bq/tomb_miner.capx

Thanks, I got it and it looks ideal but I can't test it as I don't have anything

with a touch screen, but I'll study your event list.

Thank you!

yavilink You can use a grid (tilemap) if it makes things easier for you. And there are many behaviors which you can use to move objects on a grid:

TileMovement to move from tile to tile

MoveTo - perhaps preferable in your case

Tween

Pathfinding

etc.

Thank you

Thanks a lot everyone you have been very helpful ! I'll try that then ;)

You don't need one, just click and drag and it works !
