Description copied from class: Agent.Action

Body of the action. This is the main code to execute. The value returned is the time (in simulated units) to wait before the next call to the body. A negative value means that the action must end. The main idea of this function is that its execution is intended to be spread on a time that should be coherent with the simulation.

Typically, a moving agent that is walking would make a step towards a direction then another, and theses steps would be differents calls to step(). Internal variables should be stocked in the action to allow a good step by step execution.

Overrides:
