API Panel.Position.MoveAlong

	MoveAlong
Moves the object by the given offset relative to its parent along an axis
- HANDLE	Handle
The position or component to update
- HANDLE	Axis
A position or component representing the X,Y,Z axis to move in
- FLOAT	X
Local coordinate X to increment by
- FLOAT	Y
Local coordinate Y to increment by
- FLOAT	Z
Local coordinate Z to increment by
- NONE	Return

Detailed description

This adjusts the Handle position by moving it along the specified Axis a number of units in the X, Y and Z directions.

If the Axis is zero then world space is assumed. Under typical usage 'this' would be a common axis, representing the object space of the component.

Flowcode example file

Download SIMAPI_Panel_Position_MoveAlong and open it in Flowcode v6. In this example, there are three cubiods that represent Axis X,Y,Z. Note they are coloured exactly as the panel axis indicator which represents your viewing position. There is a sphere also on the panel. The sphere moves first along the X-Axis 100 units then back to it's original position, then does the same for the Y and Z axis. Note - to see the sphere moving along the Z axis you will need to turn on perspective or change the viewing plane with via the panel axis indicator.
