Alright. I wanna create code so that, say.

Whenever Beethro bumps into an obstacle, the character moves up one. Whenever Beethro teeters over a pit, the character moves right one. Whenever Beethro.... etc.

I can say 'Go To', but that's not dynamic.

You can do this sort of thing if you'll settle for NW/NE/SW/SE as the directions it moves. Something like

If ... go to "X"
Move to (0,0)

will make the character attempt to move one step NW. The label probably doesn't matter, since it will only jump there if the character manages to reach the very corner of the room.

But relative coordinates in general for scripting seems to be a common feature request. No clue whether they will show up in 3.0.

This will be included in 3.0.
