Let me try to explain what i need: I have a target that is my mouse´s cursor position, after target set, i need that the actor (object) goes up and down (throwing effect). I almost got this done, but it´s acting in a weird way. I think i´m missing something.
Here is my nodes:
I also tried with “Move Component to”. But was the same.
are you saying that you want the object to arch in the z axis? if so then you just need to add an offset to the z axis for your lerp.
also you are not going to get a good result unless you have static positions. so when the script is called take the start and end points and set to to a variable. this will make it so the points cant change and will also eliminate some odd movement behavior such as exponential acceleration.
Yes, i want the object to arch in the z axis.
Do i need the Timeline?
I think could be better if a see an example if you don´t mind.
The first point will be always the player position, and the end point will be always the mouse in world location.
the picture below shows an example of a way to accomplish the arcing with a timeline. the basic idea is that you want to add some extra offset in the z direction for the arching movement. how i accomplished that was with a second curve that goes from 0 to 1 then back to 0. i multiplied the current z value by the float from the curve, then i added the result to the original z value. note that i used a vector track in the timeline but you could easily do this with two float tracks. also i used two set locations to eliminate any odd behavior. of course you will need to modify the setting of the locations for your own needs. i tested this setup with a third person character and set the location via a line trace which worked without issue. let me know if it works for you.
MAN, Thank you very much. Your solution worked 100% and was exactly what i intended for. You are awesome!
