Format
Move(NewLoc,Dir=0,step_x=0,step_y=0)
Returns
- Success (jump): 1
- Success (slide): Number of pixels moved
- Failure: 0
When
Called to move the object. By default, client.Move() calls this proc when players use direction keys. The automated movement functions (like walk()) also call this proc. Directly setting the loc variable does not call this procedure.
Args
NewLoc: The new location.Dir: The direction of movement (or 0).step_x: The new step_x value, relative to NewLocstep_y: The new step_y value, relative to NewLoc
Any Move() is either a slide or a jump. Normal walking around is a slide; it can be stopped partway. A jump is pass/fail. See more information below.
This is what happens by default:
oldloc.Exit(src) is called for any turfs or areas being vacated, or the container if moving out of an obj or mob. neighbor.Uncross(src) is called for any atoms that will no longer be overlapping this object. If any of these return 0 (failure), movement fails.
newloc.Enter(src) is called for any turfs or areas that may be entered for the first time, or the container if moving into an obj or mob. neighbor.Cross(src) is called for any atoms that may be in collision with this object if the move fully succeeds. If any of these return 0 (failure), then a slide can be cut short but a jump will fail completely.
If any obstacles were encountered via Enter() or Cross() failing, then src.Bump(obstacle) will be called for each of them.
If movement did not fail completely, then loc and step_x/y, will be changed, and the following calls will be made: oldloc.Exited() for any turfs, areas, or other containers vacated; neighbor.Uncrossed() for any movable atoms no longer overlapping; newloc.Entered() for any turfs, areas, or other containers being entered for the first time; and neighbor.Crossed() for any movable atoms now overlapping the object.
A movement is considered a slide if src is moving from one turf to another on the same z level, and the total pixel distance is less than either src.step_size or a full tile size (whichever is largest). Any other movement is a jump. Movement to the same turf with no step_x/y change is also considered a jump.
