First idea: Don't use repeat loops.
Second idea: Set a flag.
Third idea: Query that flag on exitFrame and move the sprite.
Something like this:
PROPERTY pyMyMotion, pnMyTargetH
on beginSprite me
pyMyMotion = #none
END beginSprite
on exitFrame me
if pyMyMotion <> #none then
me.MoveIt()
end if
END exitFrame
on Motion me, yDirection, pH
pyMyMotion = yDirection
pnMyTargetH = pH
END Motion
on MoveIt me
if pyMyMotion = #left then
if sprite(me.spriteNum).locH < pnMyTargetH then
sprite(me.spriteNum).locH = sprite(me.spriteNum).locH + 1
else
pyMyMotion = #none
end if
else
if sprite(me.spriteNum).locH > pnMyTargetH then
sprite(me.spriteNum).locH = sprite(me.spriteNum).locH - 1
else
pyMyMotion = #none
end if
end if
END MoveIt
You'd call it like this:
sendSprite ( whatever, #motion, #left, 500 )
or
sendSprite ( whatever, #motion, #right, 10 )
Should do it. It'll theoretically update as fast as your framerate.
