Depends what you are doing it in, in GM its probably just a matter of calling a function - In a programming language its a matter of spending a few hours reading up on sine and cosine.

Not quite sure what you mean. Move towards the mouse? Move the mouse towards an object?

You can get the mouse positions using mouse_x and mouse_y.

You can move towards an object with move_towards_point() etc, but I don't really get what you're trying to do.

Use this on the object:

Code: [Select]
x=mouse.x
y=mouse.y

That'll do the trick. :P

Ah, my bad. Step (so it will repeat it every step, which will update the position however many times you set Room Speed to every second).

It shouldn't be that complicated...

K, the object that you want to follow the mouse is called (in this assumption) MouseMan.

So, double click on the MouseMan object to open his preferences. Add a Step (Step) event to him, and inside that add a script from drag and drop. Then in the script, write what I said above. Now add MouseMan to a room and run the program. It should work just fine. Wait... I bet it's mouse_x and moues_y instead of mouse.x and mouse.y... I'm an idiot. :P Try those and see if it works then. lol

If you want an object to follow the mouse's co-ords:

x=mouse_x
y=mouse_y

Or if you want it to follow another object:

x=(objectname).x
y=(objectname).y

Where (objectname) is quite obviously the name of the object you want to follow. This method (when placed in Step as a code) will make the object's co-ordinates snap directly to the followed object. If you just want it to move towards the mouse or object, then instead you'd use:

move_towards_point(mouse_x,mouse_y,(speed))

Or alternately:

move_towards_point((objectname).x,(objectname).y,(speed))

Where (speed) is the speed at which the object will move. Obviously.

That can be fixed; set the objects' depth values, the object with the lower depth value will show up above the one with the higher depth value

There's such a double standard about religion in the modern world. Catholics can gather, wear white robes, and say "In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti" and be considered normal.

But if my friends and I gather, wear black robes, and say  "Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn", we're considered cultists.

I understand now. I think.

You have an object where your mouse is, and you want an object to move towards that mouse object.

So this:
Code: [Select]
x=mouse_x
y=mouse_yshould go in the mouse object's step event.

And this:
Code: [Select]
move_towards_point((objectname).x, (objectname).y, speed) needs to go in the object that you want to move towards the mouse's step event. Where (objectname) is the name of the object at the mouse's position, and speed is the speed you want it to go at.

mouse_x and mouse_y also are relative to the window, I think. So if you have scrolled in the window by using views you'll have to add the view-coordinates to the mouse coordinates to get the correct position in the room.
