Examples

; Move Bob to his house, designated by a marker
Bob.MoveTo(BobsHouseMarker)

; Move Bob to his house, but don't match the rotation of the marker
Bob.MoveTo(BobsHouseMarker, abMatchRotation = false)

; Moves a portal 120 units in front of the player, 35 units under their height
Portal.MoveTo(Game.GetPlayer(), 120 * Math.Sin(Game.GetPlayer().GetAngleZ()), 120 * Math.Cos(Game.GetPlayer().GetAngleZ()), Game.GetPlayer().GetHeight() - 35)

Notes

• MoveTo() should be avoided for placing other actors in sight of the player, as they will suddenly appear in an unrealistic way. Instead, consider placing them nearby but out of sight, and making them approach the player themselves, using PathToReference or ForceGreet.
