Moves a [[character]] to the specified [[tile]] at their assigned movement speed. If a walkable path is not open the [[character]] will remain at their current position.

If you are moving the [[player character]], [[set_player_movement_locked|Lock/Unlock Player Movement]] must be called first to prevent the player from interfering with the scripted movement. You can also use the more convenient [[Move Player]] function.
