Hi everyone.

I want to create a word that follows the mouse the letters move at different speeds and line up left of the mouse pointer when they reach their x/y destination.

Using the mouse follow tutorial I’ve got, the letters pile up on each other when they reach the destination (mouse).

Is there any way of making the letters stop at designated destinations from the mouse so that they spell out the word rather than stop all at the same point and making no sense?

Cheers
