How do you make a 'move percent' block?

[theaysnap]

Specifically something like this:

move (10) percent towards x: (50) y: (0)::motion

[dardoro]

Chase the cursor

[cymplecy]

One way is to remember what direction the sprite is pointing towards
Point towards list (50,0)
Use distance to sensing reporter to find out distance to list (50,0)
Move 10% of that distance
point in direction to original direction

[theaysnap]

I dont want my sprite to rotate during the movement

[cymplecy]

Change order to
Use distance to sensing reporter to find out 10% distance to list (50,0)
Point towards list (50,0)
Move the distance calculated
point in direction to original direction

Try it and see if you notice
Maybe wrap it in a warp

An alternative is to get distance and direction and use sin and cos to work out the x and y distances to move

Come back if not familiar with sin and cos

[theaysnap]

can you put the code in blocks

[cymplecy]

I'm an educator so I naturally want to guide you into trying to make the block without just giving you a solution

[theaysnap]

oh ok

[cymplecy]

If you make a block and it doesn't work - post a pic of it and we'll see where it's going wrong

[cymplecy]

Instead of sin and cos you can calculate the x distance to the destination and the y distance and calculate 10% of those values and then move those x and y amounts

[theaysnap]

im working on it now

[theaysnap]

thanks for the help dude
(this is the code)

[cymplecy]

looks good

[dardoro]

Why not

[theaysnap]

This block is based on the block:

move (10) steps

so we need the sine and cosine

[dardoro]

@theaysnap

so we need the sine and cosine

No.

The definition of the sine for the triangle [(0,0), (sprite.x, sprite.y), (0,sprite.y)]
The angle measured at (sprite.x, sprite.y)

Thus
