Hi!
If there 3 object. How i but object3 to the center with two another object. Object1 and object2 move left and right and distance of these two object is changing. But object3 must be centre between them and move too. Object1 and object2 move across too. Hopefully somebody understand what i mean and can help and if there example too. Thanks!

To center in X position it should be something like:

Do = (Object1.X() + Object2.X())/2 to the X position of Object3

As you can see I’m just calculating the average between the two objects :slight_smile:

Now it will work fine if the Origin point of every object is at the center, by default it’s false, the origin point is at the top-left of each object, using the center point for Object1 and Object2 instead:

Do = (Object1.PointX(Centre) + Object2.PointX(Centre))/2 to the X position of Object3

And if the Origin point of Object3 is at the top-left and you want Object3 to be fully centered:

Do = (Object1.PointX(Centre) + Object2.PointX(Centre))/2 - Object3.Width()/2 to the X position of Object3

The same for Y:

Do = (Object1.PointY(Centre) + Object2.PointY(Centre))/2 - Object3.Height()/2 to the Y position of Object3

Let me know if it works, as I haven’t tried it in GD :slight_smile:
