So here's a example:
1. Let's say my actor has got a vacum-cleaner und wants to get an objekt which is on the otherside of the river. Now I use the cleaner to "suck" the objekt to the actor. Is it possible that the objekt slowly "flys" to the cleaner and maybe scales down a little bit at the same time? I know its a funky example, but I don't have any other in my mind right now.

I hope you can answer my question.

Hi, I made up this script:

Code: [Select]

#include "scripts\base.inc"


////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
method MoveTo(TargetX, TargetY)
{
   var DeltaX, DeltaY, Step, StepX, StepY;
   
   DeltaX = TargetX - this.X;
   DeltaY = TargetY - this.Y;
   
   if(Math.Abs(DeltaX) > Math.Abs(DeltaY)) Step = Math.Abs(DeltaX);
   else Step = Math.Abs(DeltaY);
   
   StepX = DeltaX/Step;
   StepY = DeltaY/Step;
   
   for(var i=0; i<Step; i=i+1)
   {
      this.X = this.X + StepX;
      this.Y = this.Y + StepY;
      Sleep(10);
   }   
}


Copy this code to a .script file, and attach the script to your object. The object will now provide a MoveTo method. So, after the player uses the vacuum cleaner, just call:

object.MoveTo(SomeTargetX, SomeTargetY);

and the object should move slowly to the specified point. I hope that helps

Ahhhhh! Thanks a lot!  
Another Question: Do you (Mnemonic) write these scripts after you read the question or do you have them in a game already?? Because you allways answer damn quick!
