MoveToNewLocation(location, object)

Tells the object to move to a new location

void MoveToNewLocation(
    location lNewLocation = none,
    object oTarget = OBJECT_SELF
);

Parameters

lNewLocation

Location to Move To (Default: none)

oTarget

Object to Move (Default: OBJECT_SELF)

Description

This is a convenience function that places two commands in the target objects queue using two AssignCommand calls. The first wraps
ActionMoveToLocation(lNewLocation, FALSE).
The second wraps
ActionDoCommand(SetFacing(GetFacingFromLocation(lNewLocation))
These two commands effectively command the target to move to the new location, then instructs the target to face the correct way once they get there. The default target is OBJECT_SELF. Note that the restrictions to AssignCommand, ActionMoveToLocation, and SetFacing still apply.

Calls
void SetFacing(float fFacing)
void ActionDoCommand(action aActionToDo)
float GetFacingFromLocation(location loc):float
void AssignCommand(object oTarget, action aActionToDo)
void ActionMoveToLocation(location lNewLocation, int bRun)

Requirements

#include "x0_i0_position"
