Move
A move command is used to give velocity to an actor.
Define outside an actor as so:
move <name> <horizontal> <vertical>
<name> is the name of the move command.
Warning: You cannot use the same name from a define, or the game will crash.
<horizontal> is the horizontal velocity of the actor. Negative values reverse direction.
<vertical> is the vertical veloctity of the actor. Negative values cause upward motion.
Used inside an actor, a move command is written as:
move <name> <moveflags...>
<moveflags...> is a (possibly empty) sequence of parameters that specify certain hardcoded movement behavior.
You cannot substitute <name> for a number, define, or gamevar. It has to be predefined with the first definition of move.
moveflags
Values for each <moveflag> (defined in DEFS.CON) are:
moveflag | description | |
