playcanvas-movetowards v1.0.0

Introduction

A series of movetowards implementations. Move towards are linear functions that move a value towards a target outcome with a maximum delta. Often this delta is the current frame time of a game.

Installation

npm intall --save playcanvas-movetowards

Usage

import moveTowards from 'playcanvas-movetowards'
import moveTowardsAngle from 'playcanvas-movetowards/angle'
import moveTowardsVector from 'playcanvas-movetowards/vector'


...

MyObject.prototype.update = function(dt) {

    this.value = moveTowards(this.value, this.targetValue, dt * this.speed);
    
    this.angle = moveTowardsAngle(this.angle, this.targetAngle, dt * 100);
    
    this.entity.setLocalPosition(moveTowardsVector(this.entity.getLocalPosition(),
        this.targetPosition, dt * this.speed));
    
}
