Allow an object to move in a rectangular pattern. By default, movement will slow down when going around corners, but this can be changed to always use a constant speed.

Example uses:

Moveable platforms
Enemy movement patterns

Properties:

Center of movement, X position
Center of movement, Y position
Horizontal distance
Vertical distance
Horizontal speed
Vertical speed
Use constant speed (object will not slow down at corners)
Use counter-clockwise direction

Tips:

Set the CenterX and CenterY values to move the object
For horizontal movement only, set vertical distance to 0
For vertical movement only, set horizontal distance to 0
Use conditions to apply logic based on the direction the object is moving. For example, setting the animation.
