Move

Sets the position of an entity in 3-dimensional space, using local or global coordinates.

Syntax

void Move(Vec3 position, bool global=false)
void Move(number x, number y, number z, bool global=false)

Parameters

position: the movement to add.
x: the X component of the movement to add.
y: the Y component of the movement to add.
z: the Z component of the movement to add.
global: if set to true, the scale of the movement will be in global space, otherwise it will be affected by the entity's own scale.

Example

--Create a window
window = Window:Create()
context = Context:Create(window)
world = World:Create()
local camera = Camera:Create()
camera:SetRotation(35,0,0)
camera:Move(0,0,-6)
local light = DirectionalLight:Create()
light:SetRotation(35,35,0)
        
--Create a model
model = Model:Box()
model:SetColor(0.0,0.0,1.0)
model:SetRotation(0,-90,0)

while true do        
        if window:Closed() or window:KeyHit(Key.Escape) then return false end

        --Make the model move in a circle
        model:Turn(0,Time:GetSpeed()*0.5,0);
        model:Move(0,0,0.1);

        Time:Update()
        world:Update()
        world:Render()
        context:Sync()
