 # Queue an event to run.
 #
+# If you queue multiple events on a channel and none of them are blocking
+# events, all events will effectively run at the same time. As the events are
+# placed on the channel's queue, if one event contains a blocking command, the
+# next event on that channel's queue won't be processed until the blocking
+# command finishes.
+#
 # **Parameters**
 #
 # - object: Object that holds the ESC script with the event
 # - event: Name of the event to queue
-# - channel: Channel to run the event on (default: `_front`)
+# - channel: Channel to run the event on (default: `_front`). Using a 
+#   previously unused channel name will create a new channel.
 # - block: Whether to wait for the queue to finish. This is only possible, if
 #   the queued event is not to be run on the same event as this command
 #   (default: `false`)

-# Turns a movable `ESCItem` or `ESCPlayer` to face a given angle.
-
 # Angles 0 and 360 are the same and correspond to UP/NORTH,
 # 90 is RIGHT/EAST, 180 is DOWN/SOUTH, 270 is LEFT/WEST etc.
+# The rotation direction will be determined by the shortest path - e.g.
+# rotating from facing up (0 degrees) to left (270) will be a 90 degree turn
+# anti-clockwise rather than a 270 degree clockwise turn.
+#
+# The final animation used is determined by the directions which have
+# been configured for the object. If the item has a direction configured which
+# has been drawn to show it facing to the right, and this direction has been
+# defined to cover the angle from 45 to 135 degrees, setting the target angle
+# to 120 degrees will result in the right-facing animation being used.
+#
+# The number of intermediate animations shown while turning the 
+# item will depend on the directions specified in the item's definition. A 16
+# direction character will turn through 8 different directions to turn 180 
+# degrees, a 4 direction character only 2. The wait time will determine how
+# long the idle animation for each direction is played before using the next
+# direction's animation. As such, if wait was set to 1 second, a 16 direction
+# character would take 8 seconds to turn 180 degrees, a 4 direction character
+# would take 2 seconds.

 # **Parameters**
 #
 # - *object*: Global ID of the object to turn
-# - *degrees*: Number of degrees by which `object` is to be turned
-# - *wait*: Number of seconds to wait for each animation occurring between the
-#   current angle of `object` and the angle specified. A value of `0` will
-#   complete the turn immediately (default: `0`)
+# - *target_degrees*: Number of degrees by which `object` is to be turned
+# - *wait*: Number of seconds to wait for while playing each animation occurring
