Description:

When a move is loaded into the move buffer, it is possible to give that move an identifier with the

MOVEBUFFERID keyword. Reading the MOVEBUFFERID keyword will return the identifier of the

currently executing move in the buffer. This allows a number of moves to be loaded into the buffer in

advance and still be able to keep track of which move is currently executing. The identifier of the

previous move to be executed can be read with the

MOVEBUFFERIDLAST keyword.

An identifier can be used with the following move types:

•

MOVEA/MOVER

•

VECTORA/VECTORR

•

CIRCLEA/CIRCLER

•

FLY

If there is no move loaded in the move buffer or the move is not one of the above types, then the

identifier will read as zero.

Example:

MOVEBUFFERID = 1 : REM Identifier of 1

MOVER = 20

MOVEBUFFERID = 2 : REM Identifier of 2

MOVER = 45.5

MOVEBUFFERID = 3 : REM Identifier of 3

MOVER = -34.2

MOVEBUFFERID = 4 : REM Identifier of 4

MOVEA=0:GO

PAUSE MOVEBUFFERID=3:REMWait until the identifier is 3

OUT1 = 1

The above program loads a number of moves, each with different identifiers. When the third move

starts, output 1 will be turned on.
