Request: moving NPCs serverside
 

I know you can move NPCs with the current move function, but it's very limited. Just a simple request:
move with parameters for radius and acceleration, for angular movement and accelerated movement. Would be really useful.

Or even better, fix the move command. :o

I'm not very sure what the problem is, but it seems to randomly do strange things.
For example, one time I had a script do move(-10,0,1,0);
The NPC's y decreased, and it took about 3 seconds to complete the movement.

A bit of math will allow you to move by angle directions.

This might work. Not sure, though, as I have not checked it.

NPC Code:

---

this.var = (angle / 360) * (pi * 2);

move(cos(this.var) * speed, -sin(this.var) * speed, 0.5, 0);

---

You should put some kind of check in as to whether the angle is < 0 or > 360, though.

actually, i use radians for angle measure. I think most math people do. I know what you mean for angular movement. I meant rotational movement... like going in circles. i don't know what would cover all of the properties of rotational movement though.
