Slides a npc from it's position to a coordinate of a circle center in the middle of the screen given an angle and radius.

Could you use the Circular Movement submission in the database? Maybe you could edit that to do what you need to.

I need it to slide to position not instantly move to the position. So no that won't work.

EDIT: May'be I should try storing the position and then slide it there myself.

You could place a dummy ffc at a certain position on that circle, have your main FFC slide to that, and then do what you need to.

What you want is an interpolation function. For example:

CODE

Pos start;
Pos end;
int frame;
float t = 0; //where t = (current_update_frame / total_frames);

bool update() {
npc->X = Lerp(start.x, end.x, t);
npc->Y = Lerp(start.y, end.y, t);

frame++;
t = frame / 60; //1 second

return t >= 1;
}

Won't work for what I want to do. I have 6 npcs and I need to move them all at the same step speed in a angular direction.

Eh? npcs' don't have angles though. You have to manually set their positions to get them to do anything you want really.

Not directly though but with the registers and vectorX/Y functions you can give it to them. They can have angular movement. Just a little more lines of code is required.
