are there any example scripts of moving an entiy or camera with an ease-in and out.

by this do you mean acceleration of speed? Or do you mean ease-in in terms of visibility on screen?

acceleration of speed. basically i want to click on an object and have it move from point A to point B without an abrupt start or stop. a gradual increase in speed then a gradual decrease so the motion doesn't appear jerky

thanx in advance

not sure of the syntax but id say you'd want a variable that increments by say power of 2 to get the speed to go up. e.g 0= stationary 100= fast moving,

1 x2 =2
2 x 2 =4
4 x 2 =8
8 x 2 =16 etc...

so like x *=2


and then maybe get it to follow a path, as to a template im not sure really, sorry i cant be more specific, im new to coding in 3DGS

Code:

---

 
define speed,skill10;
define speed_max,skill11;
var distance;
action player
{
	my.speed_max = 10;
	while(1)
	{
		distance = vec_dist(my.x, B.x);
		if(distance > 100)
		{
			if(my.speed < my.speed_max){my.speed += 2 * time_step;}
		}
		else
		{
			if(my.speed >0){my.speed -= 2 * time_step;}
		}
if(distance <=0){my.speed = 0;}
	vec_set(temp,B.x);
	vec_sub(temp,my.x);
	vec_to_angle(my.pan,temp);
	c_move(me,vector(my.speed *time_step,0,0),nullvector,GLIDE);
	wait(1);
	}
}

Play with distance and speed to avoid stoping player before he reach the target

thanx for the help, now if i wanted to use an ease-out with a camera (click a button and the camera animates to point B with an ease out) would it be the same setup?

sure... change my.x to camera.x
