How do I stretch a sprite like a rubberband...??

Hi there,

Looking for thoughts on how to create a rubber band stretch effect or mechanics?

I am designing a lab activity to shoot rubber bands but I am stuck on best way to have the sprite stretch while using the mouse to drag it...?

Just looking for best a direction to go since I am stuck...

Thanks for any advice...

Create a rectangular Band sprite with origin image point set on the left (at x=0).

On every tick set Band width to distance(self.x, self.y, mouse.x, mouse.y)

and set angle towards (mouse.x, mouse.y)

You can also decrease band height as it "stretches", for example:

Band set height to lerp(20, 10, self.width/500)

Hmmm,

That makes sense, will give this a try.

Thanks for your input.
