Make an object move towards another objects position

Question

What I have currently is two objects that can be played though nav keys and the other one with wasd. The point is to get the 3rd object and score a point, and it randoms a new p

Answer 1

Try something like this

    public void FlyttaMot(int x, int y, float speed)
    {
        float tx = x - pt.X;
        float ty = y - pt.Y;
        float length = Math.Sqrt(tx*tx + ty*ty);
        if (length > speed)
        {
            // move towards the goal
            pt.X = (int)(pt.X + speed* tx/length);
            pt.Y = (int)(pt.Y + speed* ty/length);
        }
        else
        {
            // already there
            pt.X = x;
            pt.Y = y;
        }
    }

Call it from your timer tick code in Form.cs like this for example.

npc2.FlyttaMot(200, 200, 0.5f);

I based this on linear algebra. Take a look at this video for example. The (tx,ty) is the vector in which direction the npc should go. Dividing with the length of the vector gives us a vector of length 1. I multiply this with a speed parameter so you can adjust the speed of the npc.
