Moving an object slower than speed "1" (SOLVED)

[Tamanegi]

I'm using this code to make a cloud of fog (twice the length of the screen) move back and forth:

Code: ags

if (oFog1.Moving==false) {
  if (move1left==1) {
    oFog1.Move(0, 180, 1, eNoBlock, eAnywhere);
    move1left=0;    } else {
      oFog1.Move(-320, 180, 1, eNoBlock, eAnywhere);
      move1left=1;         }
                       }

It works just great and stuff, but it is way too fast! Is there a way (besides more complicated interrupting/resuming of movement) to make an object move slower than speed "1"?

It's not immediately obvious, but since the manual entry for Object.Move says:

It will move at speed SPEED, which uses the same scale as the character Walk Speed values in the AGS Editor.

This means that, like Walk Speed, you can use a negative value for slower than 1. I think they're equivilant to '1/x', so -2 is 1/2 the speed of 1, -3 is 1/3 the speed, etc (-1 would be 1/1 - and does seem to be the same as 1).

It's exactly as you said...  I would have expected it to give some kind of error or misbehavior with negative speed. This is almost too well-thought and convenient.
