Title: Set position depending on another entity
Post by: oOhttpOo on May 12, 2015, 09:04:31 pm

Hi

I want to set the position of a shape to the same (or roughly the same, doesn't really matter) position of another shape. However I cant just do .setPosition(points) as the shape is often moving, therefore I would like to set it to same position as the other shape (every time it is triggered). I tried to set the position to the other shape's global bounds. I attempted "shape1.setPosition(shape2gbs)". How can I do this?  ;)

Have you tried using shape1.setPosition(shape2.getPosition()) at the start and whenever shape2 moves?

There is no way to automatically move one shape when another moves, so you must do as shadowmouse said and move shape1 whenever shape2 moves.
