face {NetLogoR}

Face something

Description

Set the turtles' heading towards agents2.

Usage

face(turtles, agents2, world, torus = FALSE)

## S4 method for signature 'agentMatrix,matrix'
face(turtles, agents2, world, torus = FALSE)

Arguments

turtles

AgentMatrix object representing the moving agents.

agents2

Matrix (ncol = 2) with the first column pxcor and the second column pycor representing the patches coordinates, or

           `AgentMatrix` object representing the moving `agents`, or

           Matrix (`ncol` = 2) with the first column `x` and the second column
           `y` representing locations coordinates.

world

WorldMatrix or worldArray object.

torus

Logical to determine if the world is wrapped. Default is torus = FALSE.

Details

The number of agents/locations in agents2 must be equal to 1 or to the length of turtles.

     If `torus = FALSE`, `world` does not need to be provided.

     If `torus = TRUE` and the distance from one `turtles` to
     its corresponding agent/location `agents2` is smaller around the
     sides of the `world` than across it, then the direction to the agent/location
     `agents2` going around the sides of the `world` is given to the `turtle`.

     If a turtle is facing its own location, its heading does not change.

Value

AgentMatrix representing the turtles with updated headings.

t1 <- face(turtles = t1, agents2 = cbind(x = 0, y = 0))
t1 <- fd(turtles = t1, dist = 0.5)
