Setting up the Follow Script command options

The list of options at the bottom of the Follow Script action tab will change when you select different commands. Below is a description of the options available.

Note:
Not all options are used by each command.

Setting up the command options:

1. Use the Rotation panel to set the angle of the object. An object can be rotated a full 360 degrees.

Note:
The Forward and Backward command refer to the direction the object is currently pointing, which means that the rotation of the object is significant. If you want to move the object up and down the screen, irrespective of its current orientation, then use the Move Up, Move Down, Move Left, Move Right commands.

2. Use the Position panel to set the position of the object on the screen. Use the Horizontal option to re-position the object left or right; the Vertical option to re-position the object up or down; or both options to move an object diagonally in any direction. Use the spin buttons to increase or decrease the position in pixels.

3. Use the Offset panel to offset the object on the screen. Use the Horizontal option to re-position the object left or right; the Vertical option to re-position the object up or down; or both options to move an object diagonally in any direction. Use the spin buttons to increase or decrease the position in pixels.

4.  Use the Time (Secs) panel to set the length of time the command will take to perform. Use the spin buttons to increase or decrease the time.

5. Use the Random Limits panel to set the upper and lower limits (in seconds) used to generate a random waiting time. In other words, if you want to randomly generate a time between 0 and 30 seconds, then set the Min (Secs) option to 0 and the Max (Secs) option to 30. Use the spin buttons in the Min (Secs) option or the Max (Secs) option to increase or decrease the time.

Note:
This panel only appears for the Wait For Random Time command.

6. Use the Go to Label panel to repeat any of the steps in the script. In other words you can loop any section of a script.

Note:
You can repeat any of the steps in the script by placing them between a Label and Go to Label command. If you choose the Go to Label Forever the actions keep repeating until the animation is stopped, otherwise you can set the number of times the commands loop in a Go to Label using the Times box
