How do you move a object?

How do you move a object without making the game busy?

[Wolfgang Abenteuer]

MoveObject and MoveObjectDirect are both non-blocking functions.  Was there something else you needed it to do?

[Jimmy]

sorry. how do you move a CHARACTER.

[Wolfgang Abenteuer]

MoveCharacter, MoveCharacterDirect, and MoveCharacterPath are also non-blocking.

~Wolfgang

[Jimmy]

But it blocks for me...

[Wolfgang Abenteuer]

Uh...it shouldn't.  MoveCharacterBlocking should be the only one that blocks.  By "blocking", you mean the game changes to the Wait cursor and you can't do any interactions, right?  Are you trying to move the player character or someone else?

MoveObject
MoveObject (int object, int x, int y, int speed)

Starts the object OBJECT moving from its current location to (X,Y). It will move at speed SPEED, which uses the same scale as the character Walk Speed values in the Room Editor.
Example:

MoveObject(2,125,40,4);
while (IsObjectMoving(2)==1) Wait(1);

will move object 2 to 125,40 and return control to the player when the object gets there.



It shouldn't block, unless ou have used the specific code used as example in the manual.
