Hello, I want my actor to go to a location, I tried the code below but the actor will keep shaking in the location. Please help me. 
public void goTo(int x, int y){
        if(getX() != x || getY() != y){
            turnTowards(x, y);
            move(velocity);
        }
    }

Isn´t "setLocation(insertX,insertY)" working?

In the Greenfoot Dokumentation there are premade strings for some actions (e.g "setLocation")

also i think it should work if you just use Line 3 and 4

No, it is working but I want the actor to travel there (like physically), not just disappearing and appearing :)

No, because it will never stop running.

I guess the variable velocity is too high, so it travels over the point back and forth. You could try to set it to the location if it’s closer than the velocity. 
public void goTo(int x, int y)
{
    if(getX() != x || getY() != y)
    {
        if (Math.hypot(getX()-x, getY()-y)<=velocity)
        {
            setLocation(x, y);
            setRotation(0); //optional
        }
        else
        {
            turnTowards(x, y);
            move(velocity);
        }
    }
}
Not tested.

Thank you, it worked.
