Move Objects

Description
Description
Adds new commands allowing the movement of objects.

Object names can be found in the documentation[chrisanselmo.com].

Does not require cheats to be enabled.

Due to engine limitations, commands will only find objects on screen.
Make sure not to move objects off-screen as they will be lost forever.

Command List
/getpos object (returns x and y for the closest object instance)
/modpos object x y (modifies x and y for the closest object instance by the given amounts)
/setpos object x y (sets x and y for the closest object instance)
/snappos object (snaps the closest object instance to the building grid)
/movetocursor object (moves the closest object instance to the cursor's position)
/movetoplayer object (moves the closest object instance to the player's position)

How to use
Press T while ingame, which will bring up the console. Then input your command.

Frequently asked
Q: Can you add a command that gives you the name of objects near to the player?
A: I don't think that's possible; the function that returns the nearest instance requires the object name as a parameter.

It's not the first time I've been asked that, so I added it to the description.
The answer is: no; I don't think it's possible.

Hi! Please if you still maintain this mod, it would be very helpful if you could add a `/getobjectname` command that would return the object names of objects in like a 5-10 pixel radius of the character. If this is possible, it would help with figuring out object names of modded objects when the mod author doesn't provide a list.

no. didn't know the things name was needed.

but the 'add a move tool' idea i gave will make the whole thing easyer. you hit the thing you want to move (like the Forge) and it'll act like you used the /getpos objForge Command.

Are you using the object names from the docs? e.g. /getpos objForge

mod not working. tryed all Commands, but 'object not found' or the game sees the Commands as not Commands over and over.

i have a better idea for a mod. the mod will need you to mine the objects up, but you'll get back 100% of the things you used to make it.
or better, add a move tool.

I don't think that's possible; the function that returns the nearest instance requires you to feed it the object name.

@MetalTxus

Thanks for the response. I was able to make a new instance!

@MetalTxus you could include a check that it is not possible to move the desired npc out of bounds
