Hi, I'm lee. I've got an object (object 2) moving by using the 'move object....' command and i can't stop it again. I'm using a timer to stop it and i know that the TIMER works. Please could you help me. Thank you. P.S - in the attached code is the command i have at the moment. I know it's stupid but theres no other command i can think of. Cheers.

Your object never actually starts moving - it only advances a certain number of units when you call move object. There's no need to stop the object, since it only moved the one time you called the command.

Looking through your code also you call move object with "-0" - this will move your object zero units so it will still stay in the same place.

To get your object to move consistently, for example in a cutscene, use code like this:



"To do is to be" - Descartes
"To be is to do" - Voltaire
"Do be do be do" - Frank Sinatra
