* Modify speed and set wait time at destination
* Set to look at destination or face the same way

### Common Uses

* Platformer games with moving obstacles and player transports
* Puzzle games (using the [Toggle](/en/creator/game-maker/docs/components/status/toggle.md)component to affect an object's behaviour)
* Vehicles moving between two points for active scenery (Look at Destination set to True)

## How it Works

### Trigger: None\*

\*Movement can be controlled using [Toggle](/en/creator/game-maker/docs/components/status/toggle.md) component

### Action: Movement (any direction)

The object moves at a custom speed in **any** direction using <mark style="color:red;">**X**</mark>, <mark style="color:green;">**Y**</mark>, and <mark style="color:blue;">**Z**</mark> coordinates. It may face the direction of movement and pause before returning. This repeats infinitely.

### Out: No messages sent

## Parameter Notes

**Move Offset** sets the destination using  <mark style="color:red;">**X**</mark>, <mark style="color:green;">**Y**</mark>, and <mark style="color:blue;">**Z**</mark> values. The location is shown in Editor mode with a blue cube gizmo.

**Look at Destination** sets the front of the object to face the same direction or the direction of movement.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Move Offset** is visualized with a blue cube gizmo in Editor mode. This adusts as you change the <mark style="color:red;">**X**</mark>, <mark style="color:green;">**Y**</mark>, and <mark style="color:blue;">**Z**</mark> values, which are in relation to the object's location.\
