Hi there . I checked this site, and wanted to know If he used pathfinding with tiles or just collisions detection methods - [url=“[http://www.qlod.com/experimentos/](http://www.qlod.com/experimentos/)”] [http://www.qlod.com/experimentos/](http://www.qlod.com/experimentos/) “2002” and then “steering” ---

## I tried some code for make an object following a path with HitTest but its not really working , Could somebody help me with the HitTest optimisition so i don’t have to write it everytime … and the turning part is not too smooth !!! any idea ? ## edit Well I found the way to optimise the hitest part My code is now looking like this … But I still can’t figure out how to make turn the mc so its not doing this robot like effect : i tried to add a factor to the rotation but it don’t work … Need Help !!! [pathdirection.html](http://www.12-oclock.com/pathdirection.html) ```auto onClipEvent (load){ speed = 5 i=1 // init the Current Check nChecks = 8 // The numbers of checks x_dest = _root["c"+i]._x; // x position of the Current Check y_dest = _root["c"+i]._y; // y position of the Current Check function nextCheck (){ if (this.hitTest(_root["c"+i])){ // hitTest between this mc and the check if (i x_dest = _root["c"+i]._x; // reinitialise the check to the 1st one y_dest = _root["c"+i]._y; } } } onClipEvent (enterFrame){ nextCheck (); x = _x-x_dest; // x distance between this mc and the next check y = _y-y_dest; // y distance between this mc and the next check _rotation = - (Math.atan2(x,y))/(Math.PI/180); // rotate this mc _y -= speed*Math.cos(_rotation*(Math.PI/180)); // -------------- _x += speed*Math.sin(_rotation*(Math.PI/180)); // -------------- } ``` \\ ---

lastchildz, I want to study tour code but, please, post the fla of this example. I guess it’ll solve my problem too. see ya ---

ooooooh man, I’ve tried so many times to make an object try to get another object like that, so that it has a turn threshold type thing, so that it moves smoothly. ---

Hellow, Lastchildz, I’ve doing some code while waiting for your source and I got this one: [following.html](http://www.mrshp.hpg.ig.com.br/following.html) [following.fla](http://www.mrshp.hpg.ig.com.br/following.fla) In this test I’m trying to make a car to steering to a specific point. It’s not very good but it’s a begining! The code is very redundant, I’m sure that a lot of improvemet can be done. Applying this test to your code, I got this: [pathdirection2.html](http://www.mrshp.hpg.ig.com.br/pathdirection2.html) [pathdirection2.fla](http://www.mrshp.hpg.ig.com.br/pathdirection2.fla) As you can see, the car’s moviment is much better now! But still not very good, I guess that despite using HitTest, compare (x,y) position is a better choice… Anyway, this is a good start! see ya ---

Hi Akirasan . Cool you’re code look to work pretty good . I can’t code right now as I am preparing my wedding . . . And got a lot of things to take care of . I Let you know as soon as I am more available . LAter . Lastchildz .
