interpolateBetween not working!

[tommymaster]

local x, y, z = 134.52067565918, -69.88720703125, 2.4778761863708
local marker = createMarker (x, y, z)

addEventHandler ("onClientRender", root, function()
    x, y, z = interpolateBetween (x, y, z, x, y, z + 3, 0, "Linear")
    setElementPosition (marker, x, y, z)
end)

Hi i'd like to move a marker from my position, to up, but the script is not working at all. It is not giving any error but the marker is not moving.

Use moveObject instead and do not use it in render.

i dont know how long the interpolation would be...

Do you want to marker to keep moving forever?

[tommymaster]

i dont want to right now, but i wonder how may i do it, maybe with timers?

[Mr.Loki]

For it to work you need to increase the progress argument from 0-1 over time like this

local x, y, z = 134.52067565918, -69.88720703125, 2.4778761863708
local marker = createMarker (x, y, z)

local start = getTickCount(  )
local length = 3000 -- 3 seconds

addEventHandler ("onClientRender", root, function()
    local progress = (getTickCount(  )-start)/length
    local x, y, z = interpolateBetween (x, y, z, x, y, z + 3, progress, "Linear")
    setElementPosition (marker, x, y, z)
end)
