Hello, I’m having trouble implementing something that sounds simple. So I’ve got a Sprite node that is outside the window and I also got an Area2D somewhere in the scene. When I click on the Area2D the Sprite will slowly move to the Area2D position. I can achieve putting the Sprite instantly to the position of the Area2D but I can’t get it to smoothly move from outside the window to the Area2D position.

Any ideas?

What you want is “linear interpolation” or lerp().

If you’re not familiar with what this is, you can read this introduction in the docs:

Interpolation

Alternatively, you can use a Tween to move the position.
