Flixel Power Tools FlxVelocity

Back to the Flixel Power Tools

A class to help with setting and using the velocity of FlxSprites. With this you can move one sprite towards another, move a sprite towards the mouse, get distances between sprites / mouse and get angles between sprites and the mouse.

It doesn’t sound very exciting (and it’s not to look at) but they can start to save you real time, and keep your code tidy and clean.

Currently supports the following methods:

• moveTowardsObject
• accelerateTowardsObject
• moveTowardsMouse
• accelerateTowardsMouse
• moveTowardsPoint
• accelerateTowardsPoint
• distanceBetween
• distanceToPoint
• distanceToMouse
• angleBetweenPoint
• angleBetween
• velocityFromAngle
• angleBetweenMouse

Code Example

// Move the blue ball towards green at a speed of 180 pixels per second
FlxVelocity.moveTowardsObject(blue, green, 180);
