Chasing character interaction.

    Don't need a function for that i will have only one chasing character.
    I was using what i found in the wiki not sure if there is more info about shorthands somewhere. It's working like that.

    local c = Characters["kolegaNormal"].Position

if game.CurrentCharacter.Position.x >= c.x then
 game.CurrentCharacter.Destination = { x = (c.x + 150), y = c.y }
else
 game.CurrentCharacter.Destination = { x = (c.x - 150), y = c.y }
end

    Ok dokie. smile

    No there is not any actual information about shorthand Lua script & VisObject access. To be honest, I have no idea how I would even begin to document it as it's not set in stone & you can try various possibilities of accessing / setting something...

    game.CurrentCharacter.Destination -- or
game.CurrentCharacter.CharacterDestination

    Sometimes you can really shorten the paths like in the first example line above & other times you have to type out the full table / field name or it won't work. A good example of a table where you have to type the paths out in full is the active animation table...

    ActiveAnimations["test"].AnimationLastFrame
ActiveAnimations["test"].AnimationCurrentPosition
-- etc...

    Ok so it's just about trying what works in the current situation, anyway the final script is much cleaner than the first one so thanks.
