How do you move something from point to point without 10000 timers

[spyplayer]

Ok, to get an image to move to the left, then up then to the top left in a program made me use 6 counters, and thats just a smalllllllllll part..... is there anyway to use 1 timer and make the img (ImgGuy) to move from foint a to point b to point c....... with 1 timer not 6. Is there any way of doing this????? and please explain it in detail.... I have looked at other threads and forums and I just do not get it

Thanks much............

Do you want him to move on the 'leg' of a triangle or the hypotenuse?

Just keep a list of co-ordinates, or work out the route it'll have to take, then each time the timer event fires, just move to the next co-ord.

How about a simple clause in your timer:

Private Sub MoveTime_Timer()
Static Part As Integer
   Select Case Part
      Case 0
         [move the x coordinate]
         [move the y coordinate]
         If [at "Point B"] Then Part = 1
      Case 1
         [move the x coordinate]
         [move the y coordinate]
         If [at "Point C"] Then Part = -1 'cease execution.
   End Select
End Sub
