Moves any object (x, y, z) in any direction at any velocity and will make sure the object will stay a certain distance from walls (walldist)
Calculates the movement of any object, starting from position (<x>, <y>, <z>) and sector <sectnum>, in any direction at velocity (<xvect>, <yvect>), keeping the object will a distance <walldist> from walls, <flordist> from floors, and <ceildist> from ceilings.


Pass the pointers of the starting position (x, y, z).  Then pass the starting position's sector number as a pointer also.
<clipmask> is a mask that tells whether the object should be clipped to or not.  The lower 16 bits are bitwise ANDed with wall[].[[cstat(wall)|cstat]] and the higher 16 bits are bitwise ANDed with sprite[].[[cstat]].
Also these values will be modified accordingly. Pass the direction and velocity by using a vector (xvect, yvect).


xvect = velocity * cos(angle)
If <return>, <x>, <y>, and <sectnum> are [[gamevar]]s, they will be modified with the result of the calculation.
yvect = velocity * sin(angle)


Walldist tells how close the object can get to a wall. I use 128L as my default. If you increase walldist all of a sudden

for a certain object, the object might leak through a wall, so don't do that!

clipmove <return> <x> <y> <z> <sectnum> <xvect> <yvect> <walldist> <flordist> <ceildist> <clipmask> clipmovenoslide <return> <x> <y> <z> <sectnum> <xvect> <yvect> <walldist> <flordist> <ceildist> <clipmask>

Calculates the movement of any object, starting from position (<x>, <y>, <z>) and sector <sectnum>, in any direction at velocity (<xvect>, <yvect>), keeping the object will a distance <walldist> from walls, <flordist> from floors, and <ceildist> from ceilings.

<clipmask> is a mask that tells whether the object should be clipped to or not. The lower 16 bits are bitwise ANDed with wall[].cstat and the higher 16 bits are bitwise ANDed with sprite[].cstat.

If <return>, <x>, <y>, and <sectnum> are gamevars, they will be modified with the result of the calculation.

<return> value: 

0 (touched nothing)
32768+wallnum (wall first touched)
49152+spritenum (sprite first touched)
