move loop

Hi, I'm trying to create a move loop that moves objects in a loop until something happens and then the moving stops, I tried doing that like this
MOVING:
Code: Select all
on MoveMe
move button "something" to RandomLocation ()
send MoveMe1 to me in 1 second
put the result into _gmoveMePendingMethodID
end MoveMe
and STOPPING:
Code: Select all
on StopMoveMe
lock screen
cancel _gmoveMePendingMethodID
end StopMoveMe
but the moving continues even after the StopMoveMe kicks in
So to conclude my question is how to stop the moving OR how to create a better Move loop that actually stops
thanks!

Well in the other post I suggested you use the animationEngine library created by derbrill
.
It is dual-licensed.
Look at the stack that I share with you, I think something like that is what you want to achieve

Not sure what you are really after with all these "move" issues. Attached is a stack that demonstrates a "random walk", that is, a loop with movement in a random direction for a random distance. I am not sure this is perfectly executed here, but it might give you some ideas. Everything is in a short script of button "start". A true random walk ought never wander too far from the starting point.
You can reset by pressing "start' again, and stop with the optionKey.

In the buttons "something 1" and "something 2" of the stack that I shared, you will find the following script.
Code: Select all
on aeMoveDone
aeMoveTo the long id of me, randomLocation (), 1000
end aeMoveDone
This is what allows the movement to be infinite. Since the object completes one movement, another will immediately begin.
Maybe I should have clarified this in my post. So i apologize for that

In the repository
https://github.com/derbrill/animationEngine look at the PDF file
animationEngine6_manual.pdf. When I go to make an animation I use that PDF and the animationEngine6 library
Thanks @richmond62 for sharing that

If you click on the DropBox URL I posted above you can download 10 stacks
that exhibit several different ways to ANIMATE in a very simple fashion.

thank you very much to all!!, now there's just studying

thanks again
