| AGS Documentation | AGS Manual | Explain speed parameter whenever needed |
|---|---|---|
| Gilbert | It seems that the only place (well I admit that I haven't really read the manual thoroughly, so there might be other places mentioning this, but it's still hard to find info) where the speed parameters of entities (Character Walk/Move speed, Object Move speed, are there any other?) are explained is: [b]Tutorial -> Setting up the game -> Characters[/b] In particular, queries about stuff not moving slow enough popped up from time to time on the forums, due to few people knowing the fact that these parameters could be negative. For example, in the entry for Object.Move() the only mention of the speed parameter is: [quote]It will move at speed SPEED, which uses the same scale as the character Walk Speed values in the AGS Editor.[/quote] And in the 'See also:' part, the only link that seems to be relevant is Character.Walk(), which itself doesn't even use the speed parameter at all! Even if the user stumbles at finding another function, Character.SetWalkSpeed(), it doesn't mention the meaning of the parameters either. So I suggest we should put the explanation on each function entry that uses the speed parameter, i.e. Character.SetWalkSpeed() and Object.Move() at least(whereas Character.Walk() and Character.Move() don't have the speed parameter; are there any other places that I have missed?). | |
