Scratch

I doubt this would work sorry.

Actually , this would work. The effect you're searching for is called "easing" i am using a mobile phone right now so I cant provide explicit details, but please go ahead and look at the project I made. It contains such effect. Just download it.

Also be nice if you can comment on it(the project I mean)

You can try this

when gf clicked
forever
repeat until <touching [mouse pointer v]?>
point towards [mouse pointer v]
move [1] steps//you can replace the 1 with a bigger number to make it go faster.
end

Velocities, you mean? So the nearer the dot is to the mouse, it goes slower?

Can someone tell a mod to close this or do we leave threads like this open here? The OP had already managed to achieve what he was planning to do (of course, there's that pen, but still...)

Okay, so for the dot following the mouse like you described:

when gf clicked
forever
point towards [mouse-pointer v]
move ((distance to [mouse-pointer v]) / (any amount)) steps

You can replace the (any amount) variable with any number. The larger the number, the slower it goes near to the mouse-pointer.

Also, you want the pen to happen just for 2 seconds? Okay... Stick this segment whenever you want that to happen:

set pen color to [#FF0000]
reset timer
pen down
repeat until <(timer) = (2)>
set pen shade to ((200) - (distance to [mouse-pointer v]))
end
pen up

Hope this helps with your project!

This is the best solution posted so far. Could be improved a little checking the distance to the mouse pointer - otherwise it might jerk when touching the mouse:

when gf clicked
set [speed v] to [5]
forever
 if <(distance to [mouse pointer v]) > [10]>
 point towards [mouse pointer v]
 move (speed) steps
 end
end

Hey everyone!

So I'm trying to make a game where you use your mouse to guide a little dot to the end and the dot follows your mouse. Right now, it follows directly wherever my mouse goes and I don't really want that. I want it so that when you move your mouse, the dot slowly approaches it. If your mouse is very far away from the dot, then the dot will go to it quickly and slow down when it comes near to it. I've tried making variables to like reduce the speed but it just doesn't work.

Also, I want to put a little pen tool on the dot. It's pretty simple. It has to last for 2 seconds of the mouse moving and the closer the pen marks are to the dot, the brighter they are (red). Can someone please help me out? Thanks.

Make it so the sprite points in the direction of the mouse pointer then make it move at a slow speed.

Hope this helped,
