pXent_movechar

pXent_movechar(ENTITY* entity, VECTOR* vPos, ANGLE* aRot, var jump);

With this Function you can move/rotate a character controller (special Actor), that was created with pXent_settype( entity, PH_CHAR, PH_BOX or PH_CAPSULE). The jump value defines the height of your jump, NULL for no jumping.

Parameters:

entity	registered Entity pointer ( character controller )
Vpos	vector that moves the character (offset vector)
aRot	angle that rotates the character (default: nullvector)
jump	let the character jump; the value defines the height.

Returns:

1 if successful, 0 otherwise.

Remarks:

You have to call pXent_settype( entity, PH_CHAR, 0) before you call pXent_movechar(entity, vector, 0).
The character controller can't collide with the PH_PLANE Actor ( falls through ). You can only walk on a terrain or static bodies.

Speed:

Fast

Examples:

...
pXent_settype( entity, PH_CHAR, PH_CAPSULE);
...
move_char();
}

...
function move_char()
{
        if(!character)return;
        pFocus=character;
        VECTOR* mov = vector(0,0,0);
        var jump=0;
        if(key_space)jump=80;
        if(key_w)mov.x= 8;
        if(key_s)mov.x=-8;
        if(key_a)mov.y= 8;
        if(key_d)mov.y=-8;
        vec_rotate(mov,camera.pan);
        mov.z=0; // must be set, because vec_rotate sets mov.z when the camera looks up/down.
        pXent_movechar(character, mov, nullvector, jump);
}
