Random Path Movement
The random path movement is a particular case of path movement, where the path is chosen automatically. The resulting movement is composed of repeated random steps in the four main directions only and with a length that is a multiple of 8 pixels.
Note
This movement is a typical random walk movement. You will probably use it for NPCs.
Example of use:
Methods Inherited from movement
Random path movements are particular movement objects. Therefore, they inherit all methods from the type movement.
See movement to know these methods.
Methods of the type random_path_movement
The following methods are specific to random path movements.
random_path_movement:get_speed()
Returns the speed of this movement.
- Return value (number)
- The speed in pixels per second.
random_path_movement:set_speed(speed)
Sets the speed of this movement.
speed
(number)- The new speed in pixels per second.
random_path_movement:get_angle()
Returns the angle of the current trajectory in radians.
East is 0
, North is math.pi / 2
, West is math.pi
, South is 3 * math.pi / 2
.
- Return value (number)
- The angle in radians.
Note
If you prefer a value in a 4-direction system, see movement:get_direction4()
.
Events Inherited from movement
Random path movements are particular movement objects. Therefore, they inherit all events from the type movement.
See movement to know these events.
