How can I a mouse click for tile-based movement.

So instead of using WSAD or the arrow keys, I would also like to use a left mouse click to move the player from one spot to the next.

So as example" Lets say player is in box or grid 5. Instead of moving via the arrow key up one, down one, left one..ect. I would like the player to be able to say click in box 2 and then the player moves into box 2.

[1][2][3]

[4][5][6]

[7][8][9]

How could I accomplish this?

Something like this? dropbox.com/s/fumc7ctko35r68r/tap%20path.capx

I do appreciate you working that out for me but unfortunately that's not what I was thinking.

One click, one movement, one square over(depending on the square clicked).

I basically want the same behavior that tile-movement gives but instead of using arrow keys I want to be able to left click with the mouse the next tile over and have the player(object) move into that tile, that's one square over.

I found a post describing, I think what I am trying to do but I cannot get this persons solution to work either.

Heres where I am at. As you can see I made the WSAD keys to do what the arrow keys would do with the tile-movement behavior.

I want to do the same thing with a mouse click.

Whoops, wrong file I hardly remember appropriate file name. Here the correct one

A fancy control scheme (warning expression extensive!) for both keyboard and touch control: dropbox.com/scl/fi/w6mjtd46p994n4dguweat/4-direction-press-touch.capx

Let me know what you think.

wow.lol. yes that worked. Thank you.

Now I'm gonna figure out why it works.

Thank you so much.

Actually there is a problem, it seems as though the object will not move into the same square after a click and where the mouse curser is at.

probly just a matter of if mouse as at 0degrees then no movement I dont know.

I would have liked to use the prebuilt tile-movement behavior that's already in the engine as its movement is perfect for my needs. Just need to figure out how to rewire it to mouse clicks.

Just add distance comparison whether the click took place in occupied spot.

I will try this today, thank you.

What event selection did you use for the first is obvious (System) but what action did you use to type this in?

"Set move_direction to ((...ect"

It's in variable section, since I didn't modify previous action at all.
