stepto

stepto <room>

Take a single movement step toward a room.

The owner mobile computes the first step of a path to the target room and moves once in that direction. It does not keep walking — call it again (for example on each tick) to make progress over several steps. To travel the whole way in one statement, use walkto.

Arguments

• <room> — the destination room. An int is accepted and resolved as a room vnum (see room).

Returns

null. Like the other action commands, a successful stepto in the handle phase suppresses the event's default action.

Owner

The owner must be a mobile. For any other owner the command does nothing. The owner must also be at least standing; a sitting, sleeping, or resting mob cannot step.

Examples

after command (tick) {
  stepto [room 1]
}

On each tick the mob takes one step toward room 1, following the shortest path. (In the single-room test world the owner is already in room 1, so no movement occurs — but the call runs without error.)
