Group Movement?

Would Anyone know how to do/make a group movement

EX: enemy has a surrounding shield of objects (rocks, ice, missiles, bombs, etc.) and it follows the enemy(s); you can get to the enemy(s) by destroying pieces of it(each object)?

You could use the Orbiter plug-in for a simple option if you just want objects rotating around another. However, it isn't very dynamic looking.

I can't find the orbit plugin. Do I have to DL it or am I just blind?

Couldn't I just set a PV for the orbit objects and see if the enemy with the the UID matches that PV and set it to follow that enemy?

Well that's my theory anyway. I have tried it with little success though.

For each OrbitShield

->Pick by comparison Baddy: Unique ID = OrbitShield.value(EnemyID)

action: OrbitShield: set position:

Baddy.X + cos(TickCount * 1.2 -OrbitShield.Value('TempRadialOffset')) * 70

Baddy.Y + sin(TickCount * 1.2 -OrbitShield.Value('TempRadialOffset')) * 70

BTW, thanks to the people on the forms for the circle/orbit code <img src="smileys/smiley20.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

So anyone have any ideas? anyone?

Here's an orbit behavior: scirra.com/forum/pluginorbiter-behavior_topic37675.html

Hope that helps.

Thanks both of you. I'll check it out.
