Functions
| _M:act () | Called when it is time to act |
| _M:addParticles (ps) | Adds a particles emitter following the actor |
| _M:canMove (x, y, terrain_only) | Can the actor go there |
| _M:canSee (actor, def, def_pct) | Can the actor see the target actor This does not check LOS or such, only the actual ability to see it. By default this returns true, but a module can override it to check for telepathy, invisibility, stealth, ... |
| _M:disappear (src) | Remove the actor from the level, marking it as dead but not using the death functions |
| _M:enoughEnergy (val) | Do we have enough energy |
| _M:getPathString () | Get the "path string" for this actor See Map:addPathString() for more info |
| _M:getTarget () | Gets the actor target Does nothing, AI redefines it so should a "Player" class |
| _M:hasLOS (x, y, what) | Does the actor have LOS to the target |
| _M:isNear (x, y, radius) | Are we within a certain distance of the target |
| _M:knockback (srcx, srcy, dist, recursive) | Knock back the actor |
| _M:move (x, y, force, map) | Moves an actor on the map *WARNING*: changing x and y properties manually is *WRONG* and will blow up in your face. |

Functions
- _M:act ()
- Called when it is time to act
- _M:addParticles (ps)
-
Adds a particles emitter following the actor
Parameters
- ps:
- _M:canMove (x, y, terrain_only)
-
Can the actor go there
Parameters
- x:
- y:
- terrain_only: if true checks only the terrain, otherwise checks all entities
- _M:canSee (actor, def, def_pct)
-
Can the actor see the target actor This does not check LOS or such, only the actual ability to see it.
By default this returns true, but a module can override it to check for telepathy, invisibility, stealth, ...Parameters
- actor: the target actor to check
- def: the default
- def_pct: the default percent chance
Return value:
true or false and a number from 0 to 100 representing the "chance" to be seen - _M:disappear (src)
-
Remove the actor from the level, marking it as dead but not using the death functions
Parameters
- src:
- _M:enoughEnergy (val)
-
Do we have enough energy
Parameters
- val:
- _M:getPathString ()
- Get the "path string" for this actor See Map:addPathString() for more info
- _M:getTarget ()
- Gets the actor target Does nothing, AI redefines it so should a "Player" class
- _M:hasLOS (x, y, what)
-
Does the actor have LOS to the target
Parameters
- x:
- y:
- what:
- _M:isNear (x, y, radius)
-
Are we within a certain distance of the target
Parameters
- x: the spot we test for nearness
- y: the spot we test for nearness
- radius: how close we should be (defaults to 1)
- _M:knockback (srcx, srcy, dist, recursive)
-
Knock back the actor
Parameters
- srcx:
- srcy:
- dist:
- recursive:
- _M:move (x, y, force, map)
-
Moves an actor on the map *WARNING*: changing x and y properties manually is *WRONG* and will blow up in your face. Use this method. Always.
Parameters
- x: coord of the destination
- y: coord of the destination
- force: if true do not check for the presence of an other entity. *Use wisely*
- map: the map to move onto
Return value:
true if a move was *ATTEMPTED*. This means the actor will probably want to use energy - _M:moveDir (dir)
-
Moves into the given direction (calls actor:move() internally)
Parameters

-
Pull the actor
Parameters
- srcx:

-
What is our reaction toward the target See Faction:factionReaction()
Parameters
- target:
- _M:removeParticles (ps)
-
Removes a particles emitter following the actor
Parameters
- ps:
- _M:setEmote (e)
-
Set the current emote
Parameters
- e:
- _M:setTarget (target)
-
Sets the actor target Does nothing, AI redefines it so should a "Player" class
Parameters
- target:
- _M:setupMinimapInfo (mo, map)
-

Parameters

-
Teleports randomly to a passable grid
Parameters
- x: the coord of the teleportation

- dist: the radius of the random effect, if set to 0 it is a precise teleport
- min_dist: the minimum radius of of the effect, will never teleport closer. Defaults to 0 if not set
Return value:
true if the teleport worked - _M:useEnergy (val)
-
Use some energy
Parameters
- val:
