Classes:ActorMover

Note: Wait! Stop! You do not need to copy this actor's code into your project! Here's why: This actor is already defined in GZDoom, there's no reason to define it again. In fact, trying to define an actor with the same name will cause an error (because it already exists). If you want to make your own version of this actor, use inheritance. Definitions for existing actors are put on the wiki for reference purpose only.

Classes: PathFollower→ActorMover

An ActorMover will move any thing along a path of interpolation points. If you move a monster, the monster will automatically be made dormant while it is on the path.

The actor mover takes four parameters:

1. low byte: low byte of tid of first interpolation point in path.

2. high byte: high byte of tid of first interpolation point in path.

3. options: (Add any of the following values; i.e. for options 2 and 4, this parameter would be 6):

• 1: path is linear instead of curved.
• 2: Thing will adjust its angle to match those of the points it passes.
• 4: Thing will adjust its pitch to match those of the points it passes.
• 8: When used with 2 and/or 4, the thing faces in the direction of movement instead of the direction the interpolation points are facing.
• 128: If the thing being moved is normally solid, make it nonsolid so that it can't be blocked.

4. tid: the tid of the thing to move.

Use the Thing_Activate(ActorMover's tid) special to start the actor mover.

To stop an ActorMover use the reverse special, Thing_Deactivate(ActorMover's tid). If the camera is restarted using Thing_Activate, it will automatically start at the beginning of the path.
