SetMoveDestination for player ?

Hi all,
is there an equivelant of AIPlayer::SetMoveDestination() for Player ?
I'd like to use it in the future as part of click-to-navigate,
but right now i just want it for server load testing.

Use an AiPlayer instead of a Player, and set your client control object to something else (the camera that is tracking the player will do - AdvancedCamera's godView mode is good for such interface). Poof! All AiPlayer commands will be avaliable to you.
If you're using a point-n-click interface, you should be not controlling the avatar directly anyway.

It's actually VERY simple:Use an AiPlayer instead of a Player, and set your client control object to something else (the camera that is tracking the player will do - AdvancedCamera's godView mode is good for such interface). Poof! All AiPlayer commands will be avaliable to you.

Interesting, thanks guys!

Basically, you'll want to re-activate the function that checks to see if an AIMove is available (it currently defaults returning false), and then re-wire a bit of the moveToDestination code to work with Player. Took me a couple of days as a brand new (2-3 month) Torque developer.
