<h2>forceCharacter</h2>
<HR>
<H3>Syntax:</H3>
<P>
<pre class="syntax">forceCharacter (<i>thisCharacter, sX, sY</i>);</pre>
</P>
<P>
<pre class="syntax">forceCharacter (<i>thisCharacter, thisObject</i>);</pre>
</P>
<H3>Purpose:</H3>
<P>
Forces <i>thisCharacter</i> to walk to a new location on the screen, disregarding any floor which <a href="setFloor.html">setFloor</a> has currently set. The character will move from its current location to the new location in a straight line.
</P>
<P>
If the function call provides three parameters, the second and third parameters are assumed to be the co-ordinates of the new position (<i>sX</i>, <i>sY</i>).
</P>
<P>
If the function call provides only two parameters, the second is assumed to be an object <i>thisObject</i> which is already represented by a region on the screen using the <a href="addScreenRegion.html">addScreenRegion</a> command. If this is the case, upon arrival at the new location the character will turn to face the direction specified in the <a href="addScreenRegion.html">addScreenRegion</a> call (unless this has been set to -1).
</P>
<P>
In either of these cases, if the final co-ordinates to which the character is told to walk are (0, 0) the character will not move.
</P>
<H3>Return value:</H3>
<P>
No return value.
