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.
