Problem after towards cursor
Hi all
I have a sprite on the screen, which I want to move towards wherever the cursor is. The code for the sprite I've used is this:
Forever
Repeat<until touching mouse pointer>
Point towards mouse pointer
Move 20
End forever
When I run this, the sprite happily moves towards the cursor. The problem is that when it gets to it, it sort of hovvers around it, moving continually left and right a little bit rather than just stopping. I haven't been able to work out why, or a solution to solve the problem.
Can anyone help please?

Re: Problem after towards cursor
It's in a forever loop, which means it'll keep moving towards the mouse by 20 pixels
However the mouse is only 1 pixel and it might be missing the mouse so it'll keep moving towards it

Re: Problem after towards cursor
If you don't want to change the size of the sprite, here is another solution.
forever
repeat until (distance to [mouse pointer]) < 21
point towards [mouse pointer]
move (20) steps
go to [mouse pointer]
end forever
This will stop the sprite when it is less than 21 steps away from the cursor. Then, wherever it is, it will jump immediately to the mouse pointer.
