Interaction commands

Go to screen VAL

changes the player character's current room to the VAL. If this is in response to one of the screen edge events, the character will be placed on the opposite side of the screen. Otherwise, you must use the Data column to specify where on the new screen the man is placed.

You specify which edge by using these numbers: 1000=left, 2000=right, 3000=bottom, 4000=top. He will be placed in the middle of that side, unless you add the pixel offset along the edge, which you can get from the "Mouse Position" label in the Room Settings pane. For example, Data=2150 would place him near the bottom of the right-hand side.
