Title: Really slow moving object
Post by: xenogia on Mon 18/05/2009 02:27:17
I was wondering how you would make an object move really slowly

I have a plane going across the screen slowly and I find that move speed 1 is still to fast.

How would I go about getting this slower?

VERSION 2.72, July 2006
- Added ability to use movement speeds slower than 1 (-2 is now 1/2, -3 is 1/3, etc)

I don't know whether this is clearly documented in the manual though.

I'm with Gilbot, it's not easy to find.

Quote from: Manual->Object.MoveIt will move at speed SPEED, which uses the same scale as the character Walk Speed values in the AGS Editor.

Quote from: Manual->Setting up the game->CharactersThe "MovementSpeed" option allows you to control how fast the character moves when walking. Here, a larger number means he walks faster. If you find that a movement speed of 1 is still too fast, you can use negative numbers (eg. -3) which will move even more slowly. The lower you go, the slower the movement speed.
