VELO

VELO is a CAOS command used to set the velocity of an agent. Typically, this works best if the agent in question has physics attributes set, like ELAS, ACCG, FRIC and AERO.

It can be used in the creation of an object, like a seed, to make it 'jump' away from the parent plant. It can be used in a timer script to give a consistent hopping motion, interspersed with anim and over commands. It can also be used in a push or hit script to give a visual feedback to the player that the agent has been interacted with. This can be combined with RAND to give interesting effects.

Usage
Syntax: VELO x_velocity(float) y_velocity(float)

Sets velocity, measured in pixels per tick.

Examples
VELO 0 0 Stops movement.

VELO RAND -2 2 0 Gives a small random velocity in the X direction and does not move the object in the Y direction.

VELO 0 RAND -5 -10 The object takes a small jump directly upwards.

VELO RAND -5 5 RAND -5 5 Gives a small random velocity - the object can move left or right, and up or down.
