Title: Mouse Movement 2D
Post by: TomsTales on November 04, 2020, 06:48:06 AM

Hi Guys,

new to Playmaker and Unity in General, so...

I am getting crazy about this. I would like to have a simple "Click ob Object, Click somewhere else in the Scene, Object moves to this Point".

I found several things for 3D but not for 2D and I just can't make it work. It can be as simple as possible...I found Move Towards and stuff but this just moves the object with no control...

Argh!

Cheers

To add, the idea is to "respawn" if you will the object where I do the second click. or drag it. I don't care anymore at this point lol

Hi.
Which Part you can't get to work.

can you select a object?

can you select a position to go to?

Hey mate,

well  basicallyI have been using this tutorial by Dumb Game Dev:

Everything runs as intended until well, it comes to the actual movement I guess. I think selecting the object will work, but moving it does not. There is a comment in the video saying

For 2D movement use:
Mouse pick 2d
and
Move towards

but I can't implement this. Also I take the easiest way possible as for now, I don't really care if the objects really "moves" or just" teleports to the new position....

Cheers

Hi.
I think to position you need to do something like :

on mouse clicked, get mouse x and y, then use 'Screen to world point' to get to 'word position' that you clicked.

then move to that position.

Hey, maybe you can give me some more detail as I am stuck...I tried what you said but it stops at get x and why and does not move to screen to world...

Hi.
On the playmaker window, if you select the state tab.
On the bottom there will be a checkbox called 'Debug' turn that on so you can see on you action what values it gives while playing (and while not playing as well).

I can see that you have a object on the move toward. you need to leave that empty. (read the description of the move toward action :) )

if its the object that you want to move then click on use owner and select specify game Object, then you get another slot to place a game object.
Place the object there, that you want to move.
