[SOLVED] moving mouse by tiles and draw them

thanks for reply!

not sure is actually the same, so I'd like to show a fix path made by squares from a Sprite to mouse pointer. I think C3 should calculate the distance between point X and Y and then draw a loop with squares - but just guessing

1. is it possible to move the mouse based on the grid size (let's say 16x16) instead of having a normal fluid movement?

So do you want the mouse to move in 16 pixel increments? I am not sure if this is possible as Construct only reads from the mouse it cannot control it.

As for the example I provided you can move a sprite in pixel increments based off the mouse movement however.

2. is possible to draw a series of squares based again on the grid size with a distance between the mouse pointer and a sprite?

This is possible you will need to calculate where to place the sprite based of the grid size (16x16) and the viewport size. You maybe need to look into pathfinding or see if you can use the existing pathfinding plugin.

It's difficult to point you in the right direction without a grasp on what you are trying to achieve. Maybe you could clarify your image you provided and what it means?

I found an example of what exactly I mean, here the red arrow

Okay I know what you mean now! Yes I believe this would be possible using the Pathfinding behaviour.

It might be worth reading over the documentation and seeing if there is an example project you could use to help your understanding. As it's late here I will try put together an example tomorrow if you are still struggling.

ok thanks for the help, I’ll have a look to that!

I made a small example that shows how to lock the mouse movement to a 16x16 grid and generate paths along valid roads within the grid.

Thanks a lot! I’ll check the example later and let you know 😎😎

calminthenight the example works fine, thanks a lot for the help !
