How do i make my character follow the cursor

coder9902htm4a0

I want to make my character follow my cursor how do i do it?

AonymousGuy

when gf clicked
forever
go to [mouse pointer v]
end

Will simulate a dragging effect.

But,

when gf clicked
forever
point towards [mouse pointer v]
move (10) steps
end

Will make the character move towards the mouse pointer from its current position.

Hope this helps!

I used AonymousGuy's script for following but the sprite spazes if it gets too close. I'd like to fix that but I don't know how! Please help.

Well, if I understand correctly, as far as i'm concerned there's not really a workaround to that

forever
repeat until <(distance to [mouse pointer v]) < [10]> // choose whatever minimum distance you want  
point towards [mouse pointer v]
move (10) steps
end
end

by the way, if you want it on the cursor

forever loop
set x to mouse x
set y to mouse y
forever loop

Here's a couple of smoother-looking, less glitchy ways:

repeat until <whatever you want it to sense for stopping>
go to x: (((mouse x) + (x position)) / (2)) y: (((mouse y) + (y position)) / (2))
end

^This allows it to follow smoothly without turning. You can't adjust the speed, unfortunately.

If you want to adjust speed and point towards the mouse, use this:

repeat until <whatever you want it to sense for stopping>
point towards [mouse pointer v]
move ((distance to [mouse pointer v]) / (2)) steps
end

You can also use these for following sprites as well. The /2 in the second script can be adjusted to control follow speed. If you want your sprite not to turn, set the rotation style to “don't rotate.”

Hope this helped!

You mean,

go to [mouse-pointer v]

?

How to fix that is do this:

when green flag clicked
forever
    
if <not <(distance to [mouse-pointer v]) < [11]>> then
    
move (10) steps
end
point towards [mouse-pointer v]
end

move (10) steps
end
end

EDIT: Oops, used less than instead of greater than. Fixed!

point towards [mouse pointer v]
if <(distance to [mouse pointer v]) > [10]>// I think this should be greater than.  
move (10) steps
end
end

Fixed
