MoveTowardsAndAvoid

MoveTowardsAndAvoid(<-start <-target <-delta <-minHeight <-checkRange <-checkCreeper <-checkAC <-checkPseudoTerrain) ->pos

Takes a starting 3D position (a 3-vector) and generates a new 3D position that is moved towards the target (also a 3-vector). The resulting point will not be displaced more than the delta argument.

• The delta is simply the speed (in cells) this unit moves per game frame.
• The minHeight argument restricts how close, height wise, the resulting point can be to the terrain and/or creeper.
• The checkRange argument is an integer that specifies how many cells outward to inspect when enforcing the minHeight. A value of 0 means to only check the map cell that the target is currently within on.
• The checkCreeper argument is a Boolean indicating whether to look at creeper for enforcing the minHeight.
• The checkAC argument is a Boolean indicating whether to look at anticreeper for enforcing the minHeight.
• The checkPseudoTerrain argument is a Boolean indicating whether to look at invisible pseudo terrain (like a shield creates) for enforcing the minHeight.
