Public Functions:Asset Placement Functions

• MyGame.$("asset").to("on","asset name") {String} aspect a preposition representing an aspect {String} asset a name or id representing an asset MyGame.$("asset").to({ on: "asset name" }) {Object} an object with one property where the key is an aspect and the value is an asset name or id Boolean This method sends one asset into the specified aspect of another asset, for instance MyGame.$("sword").to("in", "scabbard"). Note that this method bypasses the usual behavior that calls verb actions, so for instance if scabbard.doMoveThatToThis("sword") were set to a custom function, that function would not be called by to(). If you wanted the verb action to be called, you could instead use MyGame.$("sword").moveTo("scabbard"), which does invoke verb actions.
• MyGame.$("asset").from("asset name") {String} asset a name or id representing an asset Boolean This method moves one asset away from another asset, without specifying a new destination. For instance MyGame.$("sword").from("scabbard") would result in the sword being moved into no place, a limbo outside of the game world. Note that this method bypasses the usual behavior that calls verb actions, so for instance if scabbard.doRemoveThatFromThis("sword") were set to a custom function, that function will not be called by from. If you wanted that function to be called, you could instead use MyGame.$("sword").moveFrom("scabbard"), which does invoke verb actions.

.move() alternate

These methods are convenience aliases. They use .move() instead of .$(), which does exactly the same thing, which is to say that it gets an asset and lets you chain a second function call. Feel free to use these if you find them easier to remember.

• MyGame.move("asset").to("on","asset name") {String} aspect a preposition representing an aspect {String} asset a name or id representing an asset MyGame.move("asset").to({ on: "asset" }) {Object} an object with one property where the key is an aspect and the value is an asset name or id Boolean This method sends one asset into the specified aspect of another asset, for instance MyGame.$("sword").to("in", "scabbard"). Note that this method bypasses the usual behavior that calls verb actions, so for instance if scabbard.doMoveThatToThis("sword") were set to a custom function, that function would not be called by to(). If you wanted the verb action to be called, you could instead use MyGame.$("sword").moveTo("scabbard"), which does invoke verb actions. MyGame.move("asset").to("asset") is functionally identical to MyGame.$("asset").to("asset"). It's offered as an alias.
