Hi! Im trying to move an object to the position of a point (or another object), starting from its position and moving along time until it's in the same position of the point. With the ch() reference i get the target's position and I try something like this:

if(ch(“/obj/ball/tx”) < ch(“/obj/point/tx”), 0+(ch(“/obj/point/tx”)*($F / 100)),ch(“/obj/point/tx”) )

But I get a “Recursion too deep” error from ch(“/obj/ball/tx”) and its logic.

Is there some variable where i can get de current tx of the object? Maybe Chops or a VEX solution? Thanks for the help!

PD: Sorry for my prehistoric english xD

yep…try the object CHOP

Thanks arctor, after spending some time with CHOPS I finally achieved what I wanted. I don't know if its the most productive way but it works and its procedural . The next step is to apply this effect to N objects. I attach the .hipnc file with my solution.

CHOPS:
2 channel nodes with 3 values each one
One contains de object initial position and the other the target's position

1 Composite
The union between both channels, here is where the interpolation type can be configured (Rise Shape)

1 Stretch ( For tuning )
1 Null ( Order )

In the object that i want to move I used the chopcf() to get che CHOPS values.

And thats all!

There's lots of ways to do this. I personally think that the easiest way to do this type of constraint is to just keyframe a Blend Object's Sequence parameter. I've attached a modified file using the Blend Object.

Thats a great solution!, much simple than mine's. I didn't know about the Blend object. Thanks for the help!

well ,i have a good way.
use vop sop node, use two positions of your objects to make a velocity,and give the velocity to a particle system,use particles to control your object.
blend shape is also a good way, but it depend on your project. if there are more objects ,that might not be an efficient way.
sorry for my bad english. Hope it can helpyou.
