Common functions: Moveto.iss

[don'tdoit]

This script contains two main subroutines: moveto and movetoobject. Since these are common functions, you might want to create a "common" folder in your scripts directory and include it.

example:

#include ./common/moveto.iss

function main()
{
       ;typically you only want to use one of these at a time

       ;Gets an NPC's ID number, then moves to within 5 feet but not closer than 2 feet.
	call movetoobject ${Pawn[npc].ID} 5 2
       ; moves to the below X,Y location with a precision of 100
	call moveto 19230 -45205 100
}

See the script itself for more info. There's quite a bit of debug echos in there that are commented out. This is still a work in progress, but from all the testing I've done it works great, including obstacle detection.

Releasing Movement Keys

If you're using moveto.iss and your script is ended while you're in motion, the movement keys wont be released and you'll continue to run in whatever direction you were last running.

The following code, placed in an 'atexit' function will release these keys and give you back full control.

function atexit()
{
	;Script has been ended, release the movement keys
	VG:ExecBinding[moveforward,release]
	VG:ExecBinding[movebackward,release]

}

Kram, is this supposed to go in the moveto.iss, or the script using it?

I've been out of the loop for a long time.

Either one, although I would suggest putting it in moveto.iss, so that it affects all scripts that use this include.
