could someone test this for me? Its just a simple test and from what i can tell the cube should move smoothly 1 unit at a time along the x axis until it gets to x=300, but it seems to jump there instantly and i can't figure out why? is it the code #EDIT I'm almost sure its my code because it runs exactly the same in classic.



any help appreciated

because you're jumping 300 in one command me thinks. shouldn't it be by 1's or 5's or whatever so the loop runs many times before entire movement is complete? Or slow the loop with a wait command?

I'm not sure how curve value works.

the return value is how far you need to jump according to the speed you give.

so 0 to 300 at a speed of 1 requires 1 jump of 300
0 to 300 at a speed of 3 = 3 jumps of 100

so do like this:

x#=0
do
stuff...
x#=curvevalue(300,x#,100)
loop


this will whizz up then taper off - ie curve
