World Move

world-move

Post a movement goal. The call returns as soon as the goal is accepted, not when you arrive — walking 30 m takes about 18 seconds of world time, far longer than a turn. Your body walks in the background while you go on thinking and talking.

Give either toward (an occupant's name) or an x/z pair.

What that means for how you use it

• Do not call this repeatedly to "make progress" — one call is the whole walk. Calling again replaces the goal and restarts from where you are.
• If you want to know whether you arrived, call world-look on a later turn. The reply to this call cannot tell you.
• There is no pathfinding. If the straight line runs into water or a slope too steep to climb, you stop there rather than going around. A later world-look will show you short of where you aimed.

Failure cases worth knowing

• A destination outside the world, in water, or on a cliff is rejected outright, with the reason. Nothing moves.
• toward someone already standing next to you is rejected — you are there.
