Hello, I have been working with the program for a while now, and I'm totally catching on to this rather quickly

I've been trying to work on this movement code specifically, and code it in different parts. First, I just want the entity to move to the spot the mouse is clicked in the area (basically teleporting there, not really running along a path yet). this is what I have so far, but it's not really working right. the entity doesn't go to the same spot you click on -- it ports to various places on the map whenever you click the left button:

Code:

---

  				
if(mouse_left == 1) // mouse_left = Left mouse button
		{
			
			heru.x = mouse_cursor.x;
			heru.y = mouse_cursor.y;
			heru.z = mouse_cursor.z;
			
		}

---

Now when I get ready to implement the A* pathfinding script, would I call a function from within here?

mouse_cursor returns screen corrdinates

There's a thread around here somewhere that's covered this same thing...

so will I need to use mouse_pos instead?

I'll check again, but I don't believe I saw the thread that discused this

no...

only you need is two vectors, vec_from and vec_to
bu if you has a isometric view, you'll need vec_for_screen to create destination vector.

Check out this thread:

Not the thread I was thinking of, but even better!

Thank you for this! I will check it out

And no, my game isn't isometric view, however you can move the camera around.

ok, I don't quite understand how to implement this action script in my code. I created a new entity for the "pointer MDL" that it was calling for:

Code:

---

pointerMDL.z+=10;

---

However, I don't know how I would call this. Would the action be called once the left mouse button is clicked?

On_mouse_left function();
