So, I've been trying to make a timer script that uses a variable to act as an X position that glides across the screen for a specific duration. However, I've done many google searches for the glide block formula and I can't find the glide block formula, which is ESSENTIAL for this. Can you help me?

If it helps, here is the JavaScript code which is used to calculate gliding

ok lol

Is this what you're looking for?

keep in mind it uses variables.

That doesn’t look right. Why is the Z position changed based on the size? The glide block doesn’t change the layer the sprite is on.

Here's something I made if you want: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/653271210/

It includes easing patterns for a sine wave in, out, or both. And if you don't specify, it should work the same as the built-in glide block.

In this case Z = size.

As a reminder, I do not want the fanmade smooth glides. I'm making a timer, I want a linear gliding animation

This should work.

The project I shared includes a linear glide option, FYI.
