goto function interruption

[eschan146]

I have noticed that when I run an object's goto function, it runs continuously until the object reaches its destination. However, I want it to stop within sixty meters of the target to shoot it, but that means pausing the function mid-execution. Is there a way I can implement this?

Thank you.

Get a point near destination with space() function. Adjust min and max parameters to suit your needs, then goto() to that point. Might not work in all cases, but this will be easiest solution.

I used some vector math for this instead:

point direction_vector (target.position.x - position.x,
						target.position.y - position.y,
						target.position.z - position.z);
point normalized_vector = normalize(direction_vector);
point destination (target.position.x - normalized_vector.x * proximity,
					target.position.y - normalized_vector.y * proximity,
					target.position.z - normalized_vector.z * proximity);

and then use flatspace and find an area around it
