<h2>addCharacter</h2>
<HR>
<H3>Syntax:</H3>
<P>
<pre class="syntax">addCharacter (<i>thisObject, atX, atY, thisCostume</i>);</pre>
</P>
<H3>Purpose:</H3>
<P>
Adds a character on the screen which represents <i>thisObject</i>. The character can then be animated using the <a href="animate.html">animate</a> function, moved using <a href="moveCharacter.html">moveCharacter</a> and <a href="forceCharacter.html">forceCharacter</a> and so on. There is no specific character data type; the character can be controlled by referencing the object type <i>thisObject</i> which the character represents.
</P>
<P>
The <i>thisCostume</i> parameter must be a complete costume (the result of a call to the <a href="costume.html">costume</a> function) or a single animation (the result of a call to the <a href="anim.html">anim</a> function).
</P>
<H3>Return value:</H3>
<P>
No return value.
</P>
<H3>Example:</H3>
<P>
<pre>addCharacter (fakeEgo, 200, 300, anim ('ego.duc', 0, 1, 2));</pre>
</P>
<P>
<pre>var myCostume = costume (anim ('ego2.duc', 0), anim ('ego.duc', 1, 2, 3), anim ('ego.duc', 4, 5, 6));</pre>
</P>
<P>
<pre>addCharacter (ego, 500, 300, myCostume);</pre>
