Bats: Eased Random Movement

[Voetsjoeba]

A file I created in response to a forum member asking how to create the effect of flies or bats to fly around randomly. Each bat has an invisible movieclip it follows with a little easing effect, while the movieclip being chased changes direction and position randomly. This creates a smooth turning effects of the bats.

Now THAT is cool. I love the tricky way you got the bats to move around smoothly like that. I would have never thought of that!

Sorry for the thread revival, but I've been playing around with this code but I'm having some trouble getting it to work using AS 2.0

Can anyone give me some pointers?

Hey Will,

I'm using this as well and am having no trouble making it work with AS2 so I may be able to help you, what's your problem exactly?

I'm having difficulty though as I'm trying to make it so I can use this movement code for a number of instances I place on the stage in specific locations, rather than them being randomly generated, don't suppose you're trying to do anything similar and can help out?

This is very amazing and useful. I will have to learn your codes. Thanks! :pleased:
