Yes, MoveTo is an external behavior by Rex.Rainbow, very simple yet very useful. I'm surprised why there is no standard behavior like that in C2.

You over-complicated things again <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile">

Here is an improved version with Sprite sticking to walls and moving in straight lines.

Of course this example is far from universal, as it may not work correctly if the level configuration is different or if walls are thicker etc.

Ok, try this one:

If it still doesn't work, rename the file to .ZIP, manually unzip it to an empty folder, and then open .caproj file in Construct 2.

Nice demo, alextro!

Yeah, it's much easier if the path is predefined and you can place guiding lines or points along it.

Is this what you need?

Hey —,

Pretty cool example!

I optimized it just a bit - removed some objects, instance variables and about half of the events <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_wink.gif" alt=";)" title="Wink">

I'm not saying my code is better, it has its flaws and issues.

As you said "just for science" <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile">

https://www.dropbox.com/s/7xre6gb6hv1yy ... .capx?dl=0

I removed 8-direction and moving the sprite by simply changing its position by 1px.

Probably a better solution would be to use MoveTo behavior, it has "On Reached Destination" event.

Here you go:

I added an instance variable CardUID and made a few other changes.

See my comments in the event sheet.

I don't think you need arrays in this game.

Arrays in C2 are overrated <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile">

Here is a comment I made some time ago (it's about a similar game concept as yours):

I remember discussing this in another post. It's not possible, unfortunately.

The best you can do is this:

CreateName="goblin" -> System Create Object Goblin

else CreateName="troll" -> System Create Object Troll

and so on.

Have you tried setting the gravity to 0?

Immovable=yes should only be set for physics obstacles (scenery objects, ground, walls, trees etc.)

Immovable objects can not be moved with physics actions.

Also, you can try Chipmunk behavior:

With Chipmunk you can set different gravity to different objects and at different angles (vectors).

tunepunk, That's exactly what I'm doing when the blend mode is disabled.
But it looks prettier with the blend mode, so I'd like to enable it on faster phones.

NN81, hey, don't be too harsh on the man!
As I understand, gamedev is his job, not just a hobby. So it's perfectly fine that he needs to finish the project, and can't spend any more time chasing the cause of this weird problem.

Thanks, R0J0hound!

1. I'm worried that there may be some background processes running on the phone, or something else that could temporary affect the performance and the average fps will be lower than is should be.

2. I'm using blend mode to mask lots of moving objects (make them partially transparent). So I'll have to redraw the paster object with all sprites overlapping it on every tick? Not sure if this will be faster.
