Move a mesh

[Canning]

OK

I am after some code that will move a mesh from a source vector to a destination vector.

I have modified some code from the 'A14 - Give a destination to a mesh.' The code is as follows:

Public Sub Check_Projectile_Movement()
    Dim x As Integer
   
    For x = 1 To numProjectile
        If GetDistance3D(ProjectilePosition(x).x, 0, ProjectilePosition(x).z, ProjectileDestination(x).x, 0, ProjectileDestination(x).z) > 2 Then
           
            ProjectileDirection(x) = VNormalize(VSubtract(ProjectileDestination(x), ProjectilePosition(x)))
            ProjectileAngleY(x) = Direction2Ang(ProjectileDirection(x).x, ProjectileDirection(x).z)
           
            ProjectilePosition(x) = VAdd(ProjectilePosition(x), VScale(ProjectileDirection(x), TV3D.TimeElapsed * 0.1))
            ProjectilePosition(x).y = Land.GetHeight(ProjectilePosition(x).x, ProjectilePosition(x).z) + 10
            Projectile(x).SetPosition ProjectilePosition(x).x, ProjectilePosition(x).y, ProjectilePosition(x).z
        End If
    Next
End Sub

The problem with this is that the mesh slows down when it nearly reaches its destination. I would like some help to modify this code so that the mesh moves at the same speed from source to destination...

Is there any sample code out there that does this?

thanks in advance

Hmm I think that actually you're already using a normalized direction, so it should already use the same linear speed.

When i get close to the destination vector... it slows down.Why is this?

hmm,  TV3D.TimeElapsed should only be called once in the beginning of the render.
and just another guess:
 GetDistance3D(ProjectilePosition(x).x, 0, ProjectilePosition(x).z, ProjectileDestination(x).x, 0, ProjectileDestination(x).z) > 2 Then

this could cause the tank to never reach it's destination.

[Canning]

jviper: It still reaches its destination (or very close to it).

Is there another sub (from someone) that moves a mesh that i could use instead of my one?

Try changing
GetDistance3D(ProjectilePosition(x).x, 0, ProjectilePosition(x).z, ProjectileDestination(x).x, 0, ProjectileDestination(x).z) > 2

to
GetDistance3D(ProjectilePosition(x).x, 0, ProjectilePosition(x).z, ProjectileDestination(x).x, 0, ProjectileDestination(x).z) > 0

EDIT: I just lookd at the sample that came with the SDK. The code seems to match yours, but there does not seem to be any slow down when it get's to the end of it's path. Ofcourse, this is still the 6.2 SDk, so I don't know how different that is from the 6.3 SDK. Either way, I think that code is poorly implemented, and you should come up with your own code.

OK, thanks guys.
