float walkmove(float yaw, float dist)
Contents
Usage[edit]
Tries to move the entity in the given direction by the passed distance. This does not sweep the the entire movement area so large steps should be broken down into smaller parts, otherwise missed collisions can occur. This function only allows for manual movement on the x and y axes. By passing 0 for the distance it can be used to check the current position of the entity, allowing for manual collision detection.
If the entity is not on the ground and cannot fly or swim, this will always fail. Note that for flying and swimming enemies, calling this will try and level them with their enemy.
Warning: The function assumes that self is the current entity that's trying to move.
Parameters[edit]
- yaw
- The direction the entity wants to move. This is not relative to its current angle.
- dist
- The distance to try and move in map units.
Return[edit]
Returns TRUE if the movement was successful.
Example[edit]
// This function will attempt to move towards a monster's enemy with a slight angle
void SideSwipeAttack()
{
if (!enemy_vis || enemy_range > RANGE_NEAR)
return;
walkmove(enemy_yaw + 15, 20);
DoMeleeAttack();
}
