Example

This will allow you to toggle the random movement of a staircase object model and stop it immediately with the stopObject command.

addCommandHandler ( "toggleobjectmove", "objectMoveControl" )
function objectMoveControl ( player, commandName, state )
--This command handler activate on text "toggleobjectmove" in
--the console. It also asks that the player define the varible
--'state' after the commandname
	if state == "on" then
	outputChatBox ( "Moving object randomly" )
	mytimer = setTimer ( "randomObjectMovement", 2250, 0 )
	--if player type "on" for state, then we turn on the timer that
	--triggers the function randomObjectMovement. It triggers the
	--function every 2 1/4 seconds for an infinite amount of times,
	--since times is defined as 0.
	elseif state == "off" then
	outputChatBox ( "Stopping object movement" )
	killTimer ( mytimer )
	stopObject ( myobject )
	--If player typed "off" for state, then stop the object movement
	--immediately and kill the random object movement timer, which
	--triggers the randomObjectMovement function
	else
    outputChatBox ( "must define object state as 'on' or 'off'" )
    --If player said something besides "on" or "off" for state, do nothing
 	end
end

function randomObjectMovement ()
curx, cury, curz = getElementPosition ( myobject )
--Get the xyz position of myobject
xmath = randInt(1,2)
	if xmath == 1 then
	newx = curx + randInt(1,3)
	else
	newx = curx - randInt(1,3)
	end
ymath = randInt(1,2)
	if ymath == 1 then
	newy = cury + randInt(1,3)
	else
	newy = cury - randInt(1,3)
	end
zmath = randInt(1,2)
	if zmath == 1 then
  	newz = curz + randInt(1,3)
	else
	newz = curz - randInt(1,3)
	end
--Decide randomly whether to add or subtract from the coordinates,
--and randomly add or subtract 1, 2, or 3
moveObject ( myobject, 2000, newx, newy, newz )
--Tell the object to move to our new coordinates in 2 seconds time
