View source for Movement Definition

The Movement Definition is used to control an entity's movement style and speed. Set a Movement Definition for a [[Player General Tab|Player]] or [[NPC General Tab|NPC]] to set how it moves.

The Movement Definition list is displayed when you select ''Movement Definition'' on the [[Define Menu|Define Menu]] in the [[Level Editor|Level Editor]].

Select a definition to edit it or select ''Create New'' to create a new one.  You can also [[File:copybtn.png|link=]] ''Copy'' or [[File:deletebtn.png|link=]] ''Delete'' an existing definition.


Selecting a new or existing definition will open the ''Movement Definition'' window:

|-
|style="vertical-align:top;" |'''Acceleration Type'''
|style="vertical-align:top;" |''None'' - instantly goes to maximum speed<br>''Linear'' - increases at a fixed rate<br>''Quadratic'' - increases at a changing rate based on a quadratic curve<br>''Proportional'' - acceleration rate varies on stick position<br>''Step'' - move in steps (set ''Step Distance'', ''Step Repeat Time'') to give a retro feel
|-
|style="vertical-align:top;" |'''Acceleration'''
|style="vertical-align:top;" |Time to reach maximum speed (seconds)
|-
|style="vertical-align:top;" |'''Brake'''
|style="vertical-align:top;" |Time to stop (seconds)
|-
|style="vertical-align:top;" |'''Max Speed'''
|style="vertical-align:top;" |Maximum speed
|-
|style="vertical-align:top;" |'''Rotation Acceleration'''
|style="vertical-align:top;" |Time to reach maximum rotational speed (seconds)
|-
|style="vertical-align:top;" |'''Rotation Brake'''
|style="vertical-align:top;" |Time to stop rotating (seconds)
|-
|style="vertical-align:top;" |'''Max Rotation Speed'''
|style="vertical-align:top;" |Maximum rotational speed
|-
|style="vertical-align:top;" |'''Min Velocity to Rotate'''
|style="vertical-align:top;" |Entity will not rotate if moving slower than this
|-
|style="vertical-align:top;" |'''Resistance'''
|style="vertical-align:top;" |Slows down movement and rotation over time, emulates friction. Can be used as an alternative to a full physics simulation.
|-
|style="vertical-align:top;" |'''Step Distance'''
|style="vertical-align:top;" |Length of each step if ''Acceleration Type'' is ''Step''
|-
|style="vertical-align:top;" |'''Step Repeat Time'''
|style="vertical-align:top;" |Time between steps if ''Acceleration Type'' is ''Step''
|-
|style="vertical-align:top;" |'''Velocity'''
|style="vertical-align:top;" |''Constant'' to apply the constant velocity set below to the entity or ''None''
|-
|style="vertical-align:top;" |'''X,Y,Z, Forward'''
|style="vertical-align:top;" |Set velocity selected above in the set directions
|-
|style="vertical-align:top;" |'''Can Reverse'''
|style="vertical-align:top;" |Check if entity can go backwards
|-
|style="vertical-align:top;" |'''Combine Speed Over Axis'''
|style="vertical-align:top;" |Limits the distance the entity moves based on the input direction so that the entity does not move faster when pressing two directions (up and right, for example) rather than just right.
|-
|style="vertical-align:top;" |'''Face Direction Moving'''
|style="vertical-align:top;" |Rotate entity so it always faces the direction it is moving in
