Hello to all,

Have a scene where i'm trying out Move Object To actionpart but the object always moves in relation to the object (offset) and not to the absolute position. Can u confirm this pls?

Using 5RC1.

THere are two action parts which can move an object

move object to -> absolute
move object (by) -> relative

The normal "to" should move to an absolute position as far as i know. If not I would consider this as a bug^^

Yes, basically 'move object to' should be absolute, but it's relative instead, so it looks like a bug indeed.

The action part doesn't work as you might expect it, it uses ObjectPosition to calculate the absolute position, so set the ObjectPosition to the top left of the image if you want to use it on sprites.

Please set the position of the image and then try again.

By the way, would it be possible to use this absolute movement with LUA?

For now i can only remember ObjectOffset which is relevant movement.

Thanks

You can calc the absolute position based on the object position.
For example your object is at position x 500,y 500 and you want to move it to absolute position x 250, y 750 then:

Offset x = (Object.name.Position.x - wanted position x)*-1
offset y = (Object.name.Position.y - wanted positon y)*-1

Why don't set the character directly on the wanted position??
