How to make the character movement follow the mouse cursor

giomascitelli · March 16, 2021, 9:00am

I’m new to this and tried a lot of settings to try and make the character follow the mouse cursor indefinitely. The idea I have is that the character only stops moving if the mouse cursor is on top of him, but I can’t work this out.

Im trying this for a Top Down game.

Can anyone help? Please

If you start with the Top Down template, the character will move to the location you click on the ground. If you call the same event on tick (or a timer) the character will will keep following the mouse.

Thanks for the answer, but I can’t find where to place the event tick for this to work on the Top Down template. Can you help me with this?
