Allow an object to move smoothly on the X and/or Y axis following a sine wave, or an ellipsis.

Example uses:

Floating objects, such as powerups or coins
Moveable platforms
Enemy movement patterns

Properties:

Horizontal distance
Vertical distance
Horizontal speed
Vertical speed
Center of movement, X position
Center of movement, Y position

Tips:

For circular or elliptical movement, the horizontal and vertical speed need to be the same
For horizontal movement only, set vertical distance to 0
For vertical movement only, set horizontal distance to 0
For figure-8 movement, set horizontal speed to 1/2 of the vertical speed

Sine Movement (deprecated)

Allow an object to move smoothly on the X and/or Y axis following a sine wave.

Example uses: - Floating pickups - Moveable platforms - Enemy movement

Properties: - Center of movement, X position - Center of movement, Y position - Horizontal distance - Vertical distance - Horizontal speed - Horizontal distance

Tips: - For circular or elliptical movement, the horizontal and vertical speed need to be the same - For horizontal movement, set vertical distance to 0 - For vertical movement, set horizontal distance to 0 - For figure-8 movement, set horizontal speed to 1/2 of the vertical speed.
