In game maker how do you make something follow you?

Answer 1

In the step event of the object following the cursor, place the following code: move_towards_point(mouse_x,mouse_y,2); To speed up or slow down how fast the object follows the cursor, change the value of 2!

Answer 2

If you want it to chase an object, i.e. cutting corners and going directly to the object, use a step event and then under move use step toward and stet:

x: "object you want to chase".x

y: "object you want to chase".y

speed: "how fast you want it to chase"
If you want it to follow the positions exactly, make 2 1d arrays (or "list" as GML calls it), one for x and one for y, and make the object that defines the positions push the values onto the top of the stacks, and have the following object pull from the bottom of the stacks then delete the bottom of the stacks. GML might do the last two steps at the same time, but I haven't used lists so you'll have to experiment a bit. NB: you'll have to use Advanced mode for this.

Answer 3

There are different ways to make something follow you, or any object as a matter of fact.

There is -

Move Towards -- the object moves towards you without being pestered by solids

Step Towards -- the object moves towards you and stops at either solids or any instance

Step Avoiding -- the object moves toward you and steps around solids or any instance.

I hope that these definitions were helpful.

Go to the room and select the view tab. There is an object following section there.
