in this code here:


it just jumps the object to the location, instead of gradually moving it...but if i change this line here:

to this:

it does it just fine...why is that?

what the code does (just in case you dont understand)
i have 3 objects on a matrix, you click on one, then right click else where when a object is selected, then it will move it. if you want me to post the whole code (it should just work out of the box) i will.

don't think of it as "move object move, distance"
but as "move object move, speed". You are moving the
object from the original position to the target in one
frame.

Why do programmers always mix up Christmas and Halloween?
Because DEC 25 = OCT 31

Darwin, what you need to do, is have a variable that sets weather or not the object should be moving, ie, when you right-click and the obejct is selected, set its move variable to 1, then, somewhere else in the loop, check all the moving variables, and then move the the object if it's set to 1, ie;



That's how I did it in mine, and that also means that your units can keep on moving even if you deselect them.

Hope I Helped...
