A collection of scripts that improve and extend the movement functions native to GameMaker Language.
All scripts come with auto-complete comments to help with usage as well as a short description and explanation of inputs and outputs. Depending on the complexity of the script additional comments are provided to help with understanding , using and modifying the scripts.
Features
Smooth Rotation! with proportional and absolute speed options.*
Move Towards Improvements! Stopping at the target position and decelerating on the way
Move In a sinusoidal or helical pattern.
Move around a point in a hypotrochoid! Example input provided for creating atom like movement as well as an ellipsoid!
Swirl around in amazing epicycloid patterns!
Find the direction you need to fire in to hit a moving target!
Snap to a grid using 3 different functions**
Snap to a direction to ensure 4,8 or any finite number of directions
Predict an instance's movement parameters***
Find the Nth nearest or furthest instance
Use the extended instance creation to set various inbuilt variables on creation
Check if an instance is within a given area****
*Smooth Rotation scripts will turn in the shortest direction and will cease turning once the required direction has been reached.
**(Square Grid without offset, Square Grid with offsets and Rectangular Grid with offsets)
***Two versions of this script are provided 1 will only return the position at each step while the second returns more parameters.
****Two versions of this script are provided 1 uses merely the instances position while the other uses its bounding box
