How to make an object move?
Want to make your object move? Here is a step by step tutorial on how to do it on Soba.
1
Select your object
The basics for all behaviors
The basics for all behaviors
- Tap on the object to which you want to add a behavior
- With the object selected, tap on the “Details” button to the left of your screen.
- In the Details panel, tap “Add Behavior”.
2
Set your Trigger
Drag the “Game Start” trigger block into the Behavior Editor. You can also select whatever other trigger you want.
3
Create a Loop
We want the object to move during the entire game. So in the “Controllers” section, select the loop “Infinitely” and drag it below the trigger.
4
Apply First Object Action
In “Object Action”, drag the “Move Towards” block and place it inside the “Infinitely” loop. Toggle the node and change the coordinates as you wish. For instance, change the X value to 5 to make the object move on the x axis from its current position. You can also customise the speed.
5
Apply Second Object Action
For the object to go back in its position, add another block “Move Towards” and apply the same value but negative for the object to resume its position (ie -5 on the x axis)
