[RESOLVED] Need Help for point and click game

Hi,

For my high school project i need to make a game and i am trying to make it point and click style, i'm am have problems making it stop at a certain location, i can make it so it go straight to were the mouse is clicked but i want it so i click and it moves there then it stops, any help well be appreciated, thanks, Nevets_rulz123



P.S, sorry for bad spelling.....:bigyello:

Welcome to the forums...:wave:

Did you tried coding something ? If so, show us your code...:wave:

You would want to use a Do loop, such as...

Code:

---

Do While x < PointClicked
    Character.Left = x + 1
Loop

---

Of course that isn't the entire solution. You'd want to check for the current position of the character to decide if you need to go backwards or forwards, up or down

Check out the ,Drag & Drop Game, link below. Thi s may offer you some ideas.

this is my code




Dim xpos As Integer
Dim ypos As Integer
Dim Xtarget As Integer
Dim Ytarget As Integer

Private Sub Form_MouseMove(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
xpos = X
ypos = Y
If Button = 1 Then
Xtarget = X
Ytarget = Y
End If
End Sub

Private Sub Timer1_Timer()
Shape1.Move Xtarget
End Sub

Private Sub Timer2_Timer()
Shape1.Move Xtarget
End Sub


this makes it appear in the clicked location however it doesn't make it go up or down for some reason.... only horizontal

P.S, thanks for all the help

Try this code:

Code:

---

Option Explicit

Dim Xtarget    As Long
Dim Ytarget    As Long
Dim revX        As Boolean
Dim revY        As Boolean
Dim xReached    As Boolean
Dim yReached    As Boolean

Private Sub Form_Load()
    Timer1.Enabled = False
    Timer1.Interval = 50
End Sub

Private Sub Form_MouseUp(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
    Xtarget = CLng(X)
    Ytarget = CLng(Y)
   
    If Xtarget > Shape1.Left Then
        revX = False
    Else
        revX = True
    End If
   
    If Ytarget > Shape1.Top Then
        revY = False
    Else
        revY = True
    End If
   
    Timer1.Enabled = True
End Sub

Private Sub Timer1_Timer()
    If revX = False Then
        If Shape1.Left < Xtarget Then
            Shape1.Left = Shape1.Left + 50
        Else
            xReached = True
        End If
    Else
        If Xtarget < Shape1.Left Then
            Shape1.Left = Shape1.Left - 50
        Else
            xReached = True
        End If
    End If
   
    If revY = False Then
        If Shape1.Top < Ytarget Then
            Shape1.Top = Shape1.Top + 50
        Else
            yReached = True
        End If
    Else
        If Ytarget < Shape1.Top Then
            Shape1.Top = Shape1.Top - 50
        Else
            yReached = True
        End If
    End If
   
    If xReached = True And yReached = True Then
        xReached = False
        yReached = False
        Timer1.Enabled = False
    End If

End Sub
