THE PATH MOVEMENT
The path movement is a very powerful movement that allows you to record the mouse and
draw a path that your object will follow during runtime. You actually draw the path on the
screen with the mouse.
As you can see, the properties of the path movement are limited to a simple “Edit” button. A
click on this button opens the path movement editor.
The buttons, from left to right
• New line. Draws a single line with the mouse. If you click with the right mouse button to end
the line, a new line will be automatically inserted.
• Tape mouse. Records the mouse movement: click with the left mouse button and draw the
path you wish. The recording ends when you release the mouse.
• Set a pause. To use this button, you must first select a node in the path. In the dialog
box, you can enter a time: the object will wait for that amount of time when playing back the
path.
• Loop the movement. Makes the movement restart when it reaches the end of the path.
Warning, the object is not repositioned at the original location, so it will continue on its path.
• Reverse at end. If selected, the path movement will reverse when the end is reached, in a
Ping-Pong effect. When it reaches the first node, and if the “Loop movement” button is
set, it will restart forward.
