Variable on a delay?

ZiqwerkelSharda

Is there a way to make a variable the same as another variable which is constantly updated, but as it was half a second in the past? E.g. if Variable 1 goes from 1 to 2, I want Variable 2 to have the value of 1 for a half-second longer before it turns to 2.

Pardon me if I'm wrong, but doesn't that code simply set val2 to be equal to val1 every half-second? I'm looking to be able to make a sprite “follow” the player character through this method.

You could maybe use a list to store all the val1 values for the half second.

If the half-second doesn't need to be super-precise just experiment with the max length of the list so that it ends up storing about a half second worth of values.

Sorry, you're right.

@PutneyCat probably has the right idea.
