setxy1.0

setxy x y

The turtle sets its x-coordinate to x and its y-coordinate to y.

Equivalent to set xcor x set ycor y, except it happens in one time step instead of two.

If x or y is outside the world, NetLogo will throw a runtime error, unless wrapping is turned on in the relevant dimensions. For example, with wrapping turned on in both dimensions and the default world size where min-pxcor = -16, max-pxcor = 16, min-pycor = -16 and max-pycor = 16, asking a turtle to setxy 17 17 will move it to the center of patch (-16, -16).

setxy 0 0
;; turtle moves to the middle of the center patch
setxy random-xcor random-ycor
;; turtle moves to a random point
setxy random-pxcor random-pycor
;; turtle moves to the center of a random patch
