Notes on Frame Verbs


A path-controlled object moves along a set path. The points that mark the path are called frames. These frames are positions + orientations that are set in the Things Section of a .jkl file. Objects can move from one frame to another instantly or at a given speed depending on what verb is used.

An object's frames are defined in its entry in the Things Section of a level file. The parameter, numframes=x, specifies the number of frames the object will have. The actual frames are defined with frame=(x/y/z:p/y/r) - where x/y/z is the position and p/y/r is the pitch, yaw, and roll that the object will have at that frame. The position is measured in JKUs, and the orientation in degrees.
